Getting your TLC vehicle inspection scheduled and confirmed is simple when you know where to look. The easiest way is to check online through the official TLC website. Log into your account, or create one if you haven't already. Once logged in, navigate to the inspection section, enter your vehicle details, and you will see your upcoming appointment date. If you need to reschedule or confirm, the online portal makes it quick and easy.
You will get a renewal package in the mail about 120 days before your vehicle license expires. You need to pay the renewal fee online through the TLC website, usually 30 to 60 days before your permit ends.
After paying, you must email copies of your vehicle registration and insurance (FH1 and Certificate of Liability) to TLC at renewvehmr@tlc.nyc.gov.
Once TLC gets your papers, they will send you a date and time for your renewal inspection appointment by email.
If you miss your appointment, TLC will reschedule it for you automatically and send you an email. If you want to check or update your email address, please visit the TLC website.
If you attend your appointment but don’t pass the inspection, you can come back as soon as you fix the problems.
