Now you need to sign up for vehicle emissions test reminders

Another casualty of the state budget impasse, Illinois will no longer remind you when you need to go for a vehicle emissions testing.

Most vehicles that need to be tested in 2016 include those with an even model-year from 1996 to 2012.

Illinois residents can sign up for vehicle registration reminders via email at www.ilsos.gov/greenmail/           and motorists are notified whether a vehicle emissions test is required before the registration is renewed.
