Documents To Bring To Your Texas Vehicle Inspection

Liability Insurance

All Texas drivers are required to have basic liability insurance. However, if you only own a liability policy, you will need coverage from a provider within the state of Texas. If your vehicle has full coverage, your vehicle inspector can accept insurance from any state. 

Valid Photo ID

You will need a valid and current state-issued license to get a Texas vehicle inspection. You do not need a Texas driver’s license to meet the requirements for this step.

If your vehicle is less than two years old and you purchased it directly from a car dealership– your inspection will be good for two years. If not, you will need to schedule a safety inspection each year.
