E-test certificate - #1 Car Club In Kitchener - Waterloo - Cambridge

**Duro5341** · 01-02-2007, 07:34 PM

Hey guys

I just picked up a cheap 89 Cavalier, thats in mint shape
He said it was e-tested in June 2006, but lost the certificate

Is it possible to go to the DMV, and ask for a re-print....when I change the ownership?
Or is there anyway of gettting another copy of this e-test?, it should be on file shoudl it not, under the VIN #?

on the driveclean website it says "To purchase a reprint of a valid test, please contact the Drive Clean Call Center at 1-888-758-2999."

an e test cert is only good to transfer for 6 months

Really? Mine was done in december 05 and I registered the car in my name in November 06 with the same etest cert and no problems.

^ you have 1 year from the date it was etested to be used

I believe that's only if the car stays under your name the whole time... If it's a transfer of ownership, I believe that it's only 6 months.

**Riddle_Rob** · 01-03-2007, 11:08 AM

Mine was a transfer of name. I bought it, seen the etest paper in glovebox. Put it in with my safety and sellers package ... did n done. It was still deemed valid.

when i sold my sunfire.. it was etested b4 it blew up.. i lost the etest cert, and when the guy went to the mto to say that he needs it .. they couldn't find my record.. witch is werid.. cause i needed to renew my plates that year with a etest cert..

but im pretty sure it was a year

**blue collar customs** · 01-03-2007, 04:31 PM

**BlueFamilia** · 01-03-2007, 05:05 PM

or ask the seller where he had it done......if its less hen a year ago the testing centre will still have it on file and can print it for you, which will probably be faster then calling the centre...... i lost mine, went back to the testing centre and he was more then happy to print me a new one....
