Waivers, Extensions, Exemptions :
Out of Area Extensions
You may qualify for an Out of Area Extension if you (or a family member) and your Georgia-registered vehicle are temporarily located well outside of the 13-county emission testing area of the state of Georgia due to school, military, or business obligations.
Out of Area Extensions are valid for a maximum of one year. You must apply for an Out of Area Extension each year prior to the vehicle registration renewal date.
GCAF does not accept emission inspections from other states; however an emission inspection from another state may be used to prove the vehicle is out of the area.
To apply for an Out of Area Extension, you (or a family member) and your vehicle must meet all of the criteria in one of the following categories. You (or a family member) must supply the required documentation listed beneath each category.
Please allow three (3) business days for processing faxed or e-mailed applications. Motorists will be contacted once the waiver has been processed.
