EMISSIONS TEST:
All 1968 and newer gasoline and diesel powered vehicles being registered aboard NAVSTA Everett must comply with the State of Washington Vehicle Emissions Check Program. This is a requirement whether or not the vehicle is registered in a state designated a non-attainment area, including out of state registered vehicles. Additional information regarding the requirements of the vehicle emission check program is available at the Pass and Decal Office. In order to receive a DoD vehicle decal, proof of compliance with the program must be presented, along with proof of insurance, vehicle registration, current identification and driver's license. A vehicle emission test costs less than $20.00 (cash only). For inspection/test site location nearest you, or to find out if you need an emissions test, call 425-388-3371 or 1-800-272-3780.
CAR REGISTRATION COSTS:
Whenever a vehicle is registered or re-registered in the State of Washington, the State collects an annual registration fee of $30.00. In addition, there may be tag fees and local/county fees.
