All vehicles registered in New York must be inspected every 12 months to maintain a valid registration. After passing the inspection, you'll get an sticker that you must display on your vehicle. You may get a parking ticket if you don't display an inspection sticker or if it's expired.

 If you buy a vehicle from an auto dealer in another state, your vehicle must also pass an inspection to register it with New York State.
