Important Message

Effective July 1, 2022, vehicles registered in Franklin County no longer need an emissions inspection for vehicle registration. On Jan. 27, 2022 the Missouri Air Conservation Commission adopted an amendment to 10 CSR 10-5.381 “Onboard Diagnostics Motor Vehicle Emissions Inspection.” 10 CSR 10-5.381 identifies which vehicles are subject to emissions testing requirements and the amended regulation exempts vehicles registered in Franklin County from emissions inspection requirements. Vehicles registered in the City of St. Louis, and the counties of St. Charles, St. Louis and Jefferson are still subject to emissions inspection requirements. Further details for Franklin County motorists and inspection stations is available on the DNR website at: dnrservices.mo.gov
