PennDOT started issuing the new stickers to Inspection stations on 9/30/2020. Stations would have started receiving them on 10/1/2020.

Inspection stations are permitted to use the current design stock of issued stickers until 12/31/2020.

In recent months, officers in Luzerne County have seen an increase in the number of vehicles found to be displaying altered or counterfeit PA state inspection and emissions stickers.

To the untrained consumer eye, these counterfeit stickers appear authentic and even have realistic security features. However, to law enforcement and certified inspection mechanics, they are easily identifiable as counterfeit.

Oftentimes these fake stickers are discovered when an unsuspecting person purchases a vehicle from a private party or a relatively small dealership (one that is not also an official inspection station); predominantly seen from vehicles purchased in the Philadelphia area. The vehicle displays what appears to be a valid sticker and the seller purports the vehicle as having passed a recent inspection. It is later determined that the stickers are fraudulent and the vehicle is mechanically unsound and/or unsafe leaving recent car buyers vulnerable and at risk of unsuspecting mechanical failure.

Any person seeking to purchase a vehicle from a private party or from a dealer that is not an official inspection station, should have the vehicle checked by a certified PA inspection mechanic in order to verify the validity of inspection and emission stickers being displayed on the vehicle, and the mechanical soundness of the vehicle.

Applicable Criminal Charges for Fraudulent Inspection/Emission Stickers Include:
T18 §4119 - Trademark counterfeiting - A Misdemeanor of the 1st Degree
