Issuing a 10-Day Extension


Inspection stations should NOT direct motorists to visit DMV issuing offices or County Clerk offices for a 10-Day Extension, as they will not issue an extension for an expired inspection.


A vehicle qualifies for a 10-Day Extension only if:

  • it passes all aspects of the inspection, safety, ECD, gas cap and OBDII with exception that the Readiness Monitors are not set to “Ready”, and

  • the previous inspection certificate has expired.


When a vehicle passes all aspects of the inspection except for Readiness Monitors a screen will display what monitors are not set to “Ready”. The inspector needs to either press “Y” on the scan tool or “enter” on the keyboard to continue. The next screen will display that the inspection is complete, shut the engine off. The inspector needs to press, “enter” on the keyboard to continue. A screen will appear that reads, “Please enter the expiration date of the previous inspection certificate MM-YYYY”. The inspector needs to enter only a two-digit month and four-digit year (e.g. January 31, 2005 entered as 01-2005).


For vehicles that are registered in the New York Metropolitan area (NYMA), they will most likely have an inspection certificate with an expiration date that expires on a day other than the last day of the month (e.g. February 12, 2005). If the inspection date were expired at the time of the inspection the inspector would enter the previous month (e.g. 01-2005). If the inspection certificate is expired and the date is entered correctly the NYVIP analyzer will issue a 10-Day Extension, which will print on the Inspection Receipt. The NYVIP analyzer will only issue one 10-Day Extension per vehicle.





These are messages sent by NYS DMV to the inspection stations via the emissions analyzer units. They frequently contain important information, usage tips, or announcements of system changes.
