Does Idaho require smog checks on cars?
I’m moving to Idaho soon, but my car is a bit outdated. I’m not quite sure if it’s going to pass an emissions test, and I don’t have enough money to buy a new car right now. Are smog checks required in Idaho?

Smog checks on cars are required in Idaho—but only in the Treasure Valley Airshed, which encompasses Ada and Canyon counties. If you’re moving to a place outside of this area, you don’t have to worry about any sort of emissions tests.
However, if your car is spewing out dark smoke or you can smell gas or chemicals in the cabin, you should always have your car inspected. Doing so can improve your health and ensure your car is in great working order.
Since you’re moving to a new state, you’ll have to get a
car insurance
policy for your new address. Before you settle in, make sure to buy Idaho car insurance
