How a VEIP Test Works

Here is some important information you need to know before you take your vehicle in for testing.

You will receive a test notice from the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) about eight weeks before the deadline for your vehicle should be tested. You may bring your vehicle to be tested as soon as you receive the notice, or at any time during your eight week inspection period. Bring your notice and your vehicle to any one of the testing stations.

1. If you forget the notice, bring your vehicle registration card as a substitute.
2. When you pull into the lane for the test, put the vehicle in "park," and keep the engine running.
3. A certified emissions inspector will check for leaking fluids, excessive smoke, signs of tampering with the exhaust system, a gas cap, dashboard warning lights, and badly worn tires. Nothing is disconnected.
4. The test fee of $14 is collected. We accept cash, VISA, American Express, and MasterCard, traveler's check, money order, or a personal check (with 2 current ID's) made payable to VEIP.
5. At the end of the test the inspector will present you with a vehicle emissions certificate that shows whether your vehicle passed or failed the test and the date of your next test.
6. If you do not pass the test, you will be referred to the station representative. The station representative can discuss the results with you and point out the area(s) on your vehicle's engine or emission control system to be checked and repaired. A brochure listing Maryland Certified Emissions Repair Facilities is available from the station representative.

The inspector clearly failed due diligence with regards to #3 This vehicle clearly should have failed this section of the test. No vehicle coming into our facility with these modifications would pass the state mandated test, our livelihoods are on the line with this, and the risk FAR out-way the rewards. If an inspector passes a failing car they loose their license for 6 months and are fined up to 5k, if they do it again they are suspended indefinitely, the station is fined 10k minimum, and the inspector is required to retake all emissions certification classes over before he is even allowed to reapply for state certification. Trust me my friends this is NO cake walk, and the fines are serious business, there is NO gray area, it is VERY black and white.
