Emissions TestAn emissions test may be required before renewing your license plates. Your current vehicle registration and registration renewal statement will indicate whether or not an emissions test is required. There are rare circumstances when an emissions test expires before renewal cards are printed and renewal cards may display erroneous emissions testing information.
Effective for vehicle registration renewals beginning in March 2026, the fee for emissions testing is $35. This fee will be charged at the time of your in-person emissions test. Air Car Colorado also provides roadside/rapid screen emissions testing. There will be a message on your renewal card if your vehicle passed a roadside emissions test, and the fee will be added to your registration fees.
