SUBJECT: RETURNING 2019 INSPECTION CERTIFICATES
 
**PRINT THIS MESSAGE AND DELIVER IT TO THE PERSON WHO MAINTAINS THE INSPECTION CERTIFICATE INVENTORY**
 
 
 
According to regulation, “every inspection station owner must return to the department all unused inspection certificates from the previous year” and that “refunds or credits will be allowed for such unused or defective certificates of inspection upon receipt.”  
 
As such, if you have any inspection stickers with a 2019 expiration date, regulation requires that you return them by March 1st 2019.  No credit or refunds for 2019 stickers will be given after December 31, 2019.
 
Please return the unused stickers in a secure and durable shipping container (e.g., a cardboard box or reinforced envelope). 
 
Do not place a new sticker order or requisition in the shipping container with your sticker returns.  This will delay your new sticker order.
 
Include a completed “Inspection Certificate Return Form” provided with this message.  You may use more than one form if necessary.  This form also provides the mailing address options for your returns.  Completed Inspection Certificate Return Forms must be included with your sticker returns to DMV.

Important: If you are returning stickers for multiple facilities, please use a separate form and place the stickers in separate shipping containers.  Do not place a new sticker order or requisition in the shipping container with your sticker returns.  This will delay your new sticker order. Once the returns are logged into our system, a Credit Letter will be sent to the Facility.  Upon receipt of your credit letter, verify the return sticker numbers indicated and the amount. If any discrepancies are found, please contact us immediately.
