Mandatory Validation of Emission Testing Results
- LTO evaluators are required to verify the presence of uploaded smoke emission test results in the LTO’s Information Technology (IT) system.
- Verification takes place through the “Emission Tab” during the evaluator’s workstep processing vehicle registration or renewal.
- If the emission test data is missing or not uploaded, the evaluator must reject the registration or renewal transaction.
Criteria for Acceptance of Emission Test Results
- Evaluators must validate that the smoke emission test result indicates a status of “Passed.”
- If the test result is anything other than “Passed,” the transaction must be rejected.

Administrative Directives
- The guidelines are effective upon adoption and must be strictly followed by LTO personnel responsible for vehicle registration processes.
