2026 Emissions Notice
Vehicle Emissions Inspection Program
2026 Notice to Employees
BACKGROUND: To improve air quality and reduce vehicle emissions in heavily traveled areas, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) administers a mandatory vehicle emissions inspection program known as the Vehicle Emissions Inspection Program (VEIP).
Arizona law (A.R.S. §49-542) requires vehicle emission inspection and testing for:
- Most vehicles registered in the Area A vehicle emissions control area of greater metro Phoenix (including parts of Maricopa County and parts of Pinal County and Yavapai County as defined by A.R.S. §49-541) and/or
- Most vehicles registered outside of Area A used to commute to a work site located within Area A. For a map of the Area A vehicle emissions control area boundary and a link to the legal description, please visit azdeq.gov/emaps.
IF YOU LIVE AND WORK IN ARIZONA:
- Any vehicle you own and operate in Arizona must be registered in Arizona and display a valid Arizona license plate (some exceptions apply). For more information, please visit azdot.gov/mvd or contact the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Motor Vehicle Division at 602-255-0072.
- Any vehicle you use to drive to an Area A worksite is required to go through vehicle emissions testing. This applies even if you live outside of Area A.
- For employees who live outside of Area A, a proof of compliance form will be issued to you by the emissions testing facility at the time of emissions testing. Testing results, which are also sent electronically to ADOT, are needed to register. After you submit your registration request by mail or online, you will receive a registration tag for your license plate. For vehicles that are registered out-of-state (students/part-time employees) and that are parked on federal, state, or city parking properties, you will need to obtain an air quality compliance sticker for your driver’s window from ADOT. For more information, please visit myazcar.com or call the ADEQ VEIP Hotline at 1-877692-9227 (1-877-myAZcar).
- In addition to any other criminal penalty provided by law, a person who does not comply with this law is subject to a civil penalty of $100 for a first violation and $300 for a second violation.
Programa de Inspección de Emisiones de Vehículo
2026 Aviso para los empleados
CONTEXTO: Para mejorar la calidad del aire y reducir las emisiones de los vehículos en áreas transitadas, el Departamento de Calidad Ambiental de Arizona (ADEQ, por sus siglas en inglés), administra un programa obligatorio de inspección de emisiones de vehículos conocido como Programa de Inspección de Emisiones de Vehículos (VEIP).
La ley de Arizona (A.R.S. §49-542) exige la inspección y prueba de emisiones vehiculares para:
- La mayoría de los vehículos matriculados en el Área A del sector de control de emisiones vehiculares del área metropolitana de Phoenix (la mayor parte del Condado Maricopa y sectores del Condado Pinal y el Condado Yavapai, según se define en A.R.S. §49-541) y/o
- La mayoría de los vehículos matriculados fuera del Área A utilizados para trasladarse a un lugar de trabajo dentro del Área A. Para un mapa de los limítes del Área A del sector de controles vehiculares y un enlace para la descripción legal, visite: azdeq.gov/emaps.
SI USTED VIVE Y TRABAJA EN ARIZONA DEBE SABER:
- Cualquier vehículo del cual usted es dueño o que conduce en Arizona debe estar matriculado en Arizona y llevar de forma visible una placa válida de Arizona (algunas excepciones son válidas). Para más información, favor de llamar a la División de Vehículos Motorizados del Departamento del Transporte de Arizona (ADOT, por sus siglas en inglés), visite azdot.gov/mvd o llame al 602-255-0072.

Los resultados de la prueba, que también se envían electrónicamente al ADOT son necesarios para el registro. Después de enviar su solicitud de registro, por correo o por internet, usted recibirá una etiqueta de registro de su matrícula. Para los vehículos que están registrados fuera del estado (estudiantes/empleados de tiempo parcial) y que están estacionados en propiedades de estacionamientos federales, estatales, o municipales, de la ciudad, será necesario que usted obtenga una etiqueta adhesiva de cumplimiento de la calidad del aire para colocarla en la ventana del asiento del conductor de su carro, la cual es proporcionada por ADOT.
