Wow, I had no idea!! My inspection is due end of the month and I've been trying to figure out when to shoehorn in a visit to Half Street and fight the line before then.

The info at the link isn't too explicit.

~~If I already renewed my registration (which I did, got new sticker a couple weeks ago), this included the cost of inspection, right? Even if I didn't select that anywhere on an online menu when I renewed my registration?

If so, I just roll up to that kiosk, do the thing, and they'll somehow know and send me a new sticker?~~

Sorry, hate to hit you with questions, but the link is less than forthcoming on the details...

ETA: I just looked it up on Google Maps to get the drive time, and some of the reviews included enough info to answer my questions: >The on screen prompts are easy to follow and a temporary inspection sticker will print for you while one gets sent to your address in the mail.

Yup! I used it the about a month ago for registration renewal on a car with the necessary plug (whatever that thing is that they plug into, I have no idea). It looks like it is in the parking lot of a school building, which I think it is.

You drive up, and the instructions on the screen are pretty comprehensible. You run your car for a few minutes and it was pretty painless and I didn't need amazing automotive skills to understand and get it done.

The registration sticker arrived in my mailbox a little while later. Super easy and Covid-Approved!
