The paragraph below will help you determine if your vehicle needs a test. Testing is required for even-year vehicle models in even years and odd-year vehicle models in odd years (i.e. a 2008 model year vehicle is required to test in 2016, a 2007 model year vehicle is not required to test in 2016).

That's right. An E-Check compliance certificate is good for 365 days, so it is possible to have your vehicle tested up to one year in advance of your registration date. It is often helpful to test early when you know that you will not be in Ohio when it is time to renew.

The depending on your vehicle, the test should take between 15 to 30 minutes to be complete. The Test Center is required to begin the test within twenty (20) minutes of your arrival and end within ten (10) minutes of the initiation of the test. A. The MLO Testing Handbook, which is available on the Testing Page of the NMLS Resource Center, has specific information on how to enroll. When studying for the test, be sure to also review the Content Outlines and Reference Lists. Q. Going by model year, new vehicles don’t require e-testing until they’re seven years old. Vehicles older than the current model year do require testing for resale, but transfers between family members are exempt. How you time your used car purchase and e-test will determine when your next mandatory test is. Vehicles with an odd-number model year will be inspected in odd years. For example, a 2005 vehicle will be tested in 2011, 2013, etc. Since the compliance certificate is good for 365 days, we recommend that you have your vehicle tested far in advance of the registration expiration date.
