If it is just to renew the tags, we can do that in NC. Just send in a few more dollars for postage and credit card charge.
We can now renew the drivers license every other time by internet if there have not been any accidents. Not sure about if there were any tickets.
Many of the saftey inspections are bogus anyway. Now they do have to plug in the computer if the car has one.
Before that If you knew the inspection place and just wanted a sticker, that is about all you got. One place I went to the man said it was raining and his garage was full of other work. He filled out the paper work and told me to scrape the sticker off and put on the new one. He only saw my car out the window if he even looked.
I went to a place one year with a car about 5 years old. They really went over that on. Told me that it would not pass as it did not have the catalytic converter. I told him I bought the car new and it never had the exhaust system worked on and it better have the conveter or me and the dealer were going to have it out. Another told the first one that the converter was under the hood just after the engine.
