SUBJECT: RETURNING 2020 INSPECTION CERTIFICATES

**PRINT THIS MESSAGE AND DELIVER IT TO THE PERSON WHO MAINTAINS THE

INSPECTION CERTIFICATE INVENTORY**

Per Commissioner's Regulation Part 79.10 (c), "every inspection station owner must return to the department all unused inspection certificates from the previous year" and that "refunds or credits will be allowed for such unused or defective certificates of inspection upon receipt..."

As such, if you have any inspection stickers with a 2020 expiration date, regulation requires that you return them by March 1st 2020. No credit or refunds for 2020 stickers will be given after December 31, 2020. Please return the unused stickers in a secure and durable shipping container (e.g., a cardboard box or reinforced envelope).

Do not place a new sticker order or requisition in the shipping container with your sticker returns. This will delay your new sticker order.

Include a completed "Inspection Certificate Return Form" provided with this message. You may use more than one form if necessary. This form also provides the mailing address options for your returns. Completed Inspection Certificate Return Forms must be included with your sticker returns to DMV.

Once the returns are logged into our system, a Credit Letter will be sent to the Facility. Upon receipt of your credit letter, verify the return sticker numbers indicated and the amount. If any discrepancies are found, please contact us immediately.
 

Questions regarding this procedure can be directed to DMV at 518-474-2398.
