Out of State Vehicle Emissions Test

Testing reciprocity provisions have been made for vehicles from other states’ I/M programs. These provisions allow vehicles from EPA approved I/M program areas to receive the required emissions testing in another I/M program area. If your home state requires an emissions test for a vehicle that is currently located in Louisiana, the testing may be performed by any official Motor Vehicle Inspection (MVI) Station in the Baton Rouge ozone nonattainment area during normal inspection hours. A Vehicle Inspection Report (VIR) is available as the official test record.

 Qualified Inspection Stations located in the following five parishes are able to perform the necessary vehicle emissions test:

  • Ascension
  • East Baton Rouge
  • Iberville
  • Livingston
  • West Baton Rouge
