Vehicles manufactured in odd-numbered years are tested during odd-numbered years and vehicles manufactured in even-numbered years are tested during even-numbered years. Exemptions include vehicles manufactured during the four latest model years and antique vehicles (as defined by 326 IAC 13-1.1-1 - see Section 1 on page 2). For instance, a vehicle with a manufacturer's model year of 2009 should be tested in 2013 and tested again in 2015 and 2017.
Bring your Indiana Vehicle Registration Renewal notice or your current registration with you to the testing station.
Self Service Renewal Processing
When renewing online at myBMV a testing number will be requested. The emissions test number can be found at the bottom right of the page, under BMV Online Emissions No.
If your vehicle is driven by a college student who is away at school or if the vehicle is kept in another state for part of the year, early testing is recommended. Vehicles can be tested as early as October of the year before they are due. To save yourself some time, take your vehicle in for testing on off-peak days.
