What happens if my vehicle does not pass inspection?

(1) If your vehicle does not pass inspection, you will receive a notice of noncompliance.
(2) You have ten days after receiving the notice of noncompliance to send us a written response explaining how you will correct the violation(s) and prevent its reoccurrence.
(3) You are not allowed to move, sell or lease a vehicle until:
(a) You correct the violation(s);
(b) We inspect and approve the correction(s); and
(c) You pay the inspection fee and the insignia fee, if required. (See WAC 296-150R-3000.)
(4) If you fail to make the corrections, the sale or lease of your vehicle is prohibited by RCW 43.22.340 until the corrections are made.
