For how long is the inspection certificate valid after passing?

The inspection certificate's validity is typically set at 90 days after passing the inspection. This time period allows vehicle owners a reasonable window to make any necessary repairs or compliance adjustments before new inspections or certifications are required. If the vehicle is sold or transferred after the inspection but within this timeframe, the certificate can typically still be utilized by the new owner, affirming that the vehicle met safety and emissions standards at the time of inspection. Understanding this timeframe is crucial for vehicle owners to ensure they are aware of their vehicle's status and any upcoming inspection requirements. The other durations provided do not align with the accepted regulatory standards for inspection certificates in Maryland.
