Commercial Vehicle Inspectors must recertify every two years, completing the process before their current certification expires. Once your certification has expired, you are no longer authorized to perform inspections. If you do not successfully complete a recertification course within six months of your certification’s expiration, you will need to complete the full certification course to be reinstated. For more information on ordering decals, change of employment forms, class provider lists, and other related program details, please visit MNDOT’s website. Students must provide:

• Inspector’s Home Address and Personal Phone Number: Required by the MN State Patrol as a second point of contact. Enter this information on the Student’s/Participant’s Profile.
• Inspector Number
• Employer’s Address and Phone Number: Enter “self-employed” if inspecting your own vehicles.
• County of Inspection: Enter the county where the inspector performs inspections. If outside of Minnesota, enter “out of state.”
