Do I Need an Inspection To Renew My Tags in Mississippi?

No, Mississippi does not require safety inspections or emissions testing to renew vehicle tags. The Department of Revenue explicitly states that emissions testing is not required for motor vehicles as a condition of registration.

Vehicle registration in Mississippi must be renewed annually through your local county Tax Collector's office. Upon renewal, vehicle owners receive license decals that must be attached to the license tag in an upright position in the lower right corner of the plate, with the month and year of expiration visible.
