I do not have a license plate for my vehicle. How do I get it there legally for the inspection?

It is not legal to drive a car without a permit or license plate. You can place your vehicle on a trailer and tow it to the inspection station, or you may be able to purchase a temporary registration/permit from your County Treasurer.
