What Is an Emissions Test?

An emissions test — also called a smog check or smog inspection — measures how much pollution your vehicle's engine produces. In Clark County, Nevada, most registered vehicles are required to pass an emissions test before registration can be renewed or ownership transferred. The test checks your vehicle's exhaust output against Nevada state standards and generates a Vehicle Inspection Report (VIR) confirming a pass or fail. Results are submitted directly to the Nevada DMV by Smog Busters.
