Louisiana District 31 State Senator ALAN SEABAUGH
Louisianians no longer need to get a vehicle inspection sticker, but how does the new QR code work? State Senator Alan Seabaugh says the QR code sticker will go in the same spot as your current inspection sticker.
“If you have a QR scanner on your phone and you scan the QR code, the only thing you’re going to get is the VIN number which, by law, is supposed to be displayed anyway,” Seabaugh explained.
QR code stickers are not required until January 1, and Governor Jeff Landry has issued a grace period for the rest of this year, meaning you can no longer be ticketed for a missing or expired inspection sticker. Seabaugh says the QR code will work differently for law enforcement.
“Law enforcement has a different scanner, similar to the license plate scanner. They can get other information like address, insurance information, things like that, that you’re also required by law to have,” Seabaugh noted.
Instead of paying $10 for an annual inspection, you will purchase the QR code for $6 as part of the cost of renewing your vehicle registration. Seabaugh says the LOMV will send you the sticker in the mail.
“I think you’re going to get the QR code in the same manner that you get your license plate; the little sticker that you put on your license plate, when you get your vehicle registration,” Seabaugh said.
