Ask the inspection station

You need it (licensed inspector). Just email it to your service writer and they can print it out for you. You will also need your insurance printed out.

Ok. Ya I have my insurance card (they mail me printed copies). I think I may have emailed my registration to them last time, I can't remember.

Thanks!

Aslong as I can see the registration and insurance on your phone I don’t care

I do, its way more of a pain in the ass to have to manually enter all that info instead of scanning the docs that the cust has the responsibilty to provide to you.

True it takes longer but they are allowed to present those documents in digital form. Call your qoa they will tell ya that

I know I need it and it has to be valid. My question was whether I needed to print it out or if I can show it to them on my phone. Others have already confirmed I don't need to print it out.

Do you need to keep a photocopy of it with your paperwork (the inspector)? In that case, I see no difference in say, getting it via email and printing it vs. making a copy. I appreciate you not wanting to have to do more work, nobody likes that. Ultimately I think it was a real stupid decision by the state to no longer mail you a copy. Of all the ways they could save a buck that was literally the worst way.

My garage has an email address posted where you can mail stuff. They print it if they need it.

Thanks that's awesome. I think I mentioned it but I wanna say I was able to just text a picture of it to them last year. Seems like the sort of thing the state should be able to just confirm for you guys from the Vin and drivers license.

I thought that insurance card was digital or paper but registration is paper no matter what. I’ve had my pa inspection license since 2011.
