What happens after my Drive Clean test?

You will receive a computer-generated report at the Drive Clean facility. It will state if your vehicle "passes or fails" and give you an analysis of the pollutants coming from the tailpipe. If your vehicle does not meet emissions standards, you will receive a fact sheet describing some of the possible causes of failure and information on what to do next.

Test results are automatically recorded in the province's vehicle registration data base. However, vehicle owners should bring a copy of their pass report to a licence issuing office or a self-service kiosk when renewing their registration, in the event there are any questions.

The Drive Clean pass report for your vehicle is valid for registration renewals and ownership transfers for up to 12 months from the date of the test. The licence expiry date or transfer date must fall within that 12-month period.
