If a vehicle is out of state for more than 30 days with an expired inspection, how long does the owner have to get a new inspection?

When a vehicle has been out of state for more than 30 days with an expired inspection, the owner is required to have a new inspection performed within 10 days of the vehicle's return to Pennsylvania. This policy is in place to ensure that vehicles maintain compliance with safety standards and emissions regulations as set forth by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

By requiring inspection within this time frame, the state aims to promote road safety and environmental protection, while allowing a grace period for owners who may have been temporarily away from the state. This provides a clear guideline for vehicle owners about their responsibilities upon returning to ensure their vehicles are safe for operation on public roads.
