After rejection and upon providing repairs, which copies of the MVI-2 form should be filed by the inspection station?

After a vehicle has been rejected during an inspection and subsequent repairs are made, it is essential for the inspection station to correctly file the appropriate copies of the MVI-2 form. The first copy of the MVI-2 form, which typically serves as the official record of the inspection status, must be retained by the inspection station. The yellow copy is issued to the vehicle owner or operator and provides them with documentation of the inspection results, including any reasons for rejection and details about the repairs needed.

By filing both the first copy and the yellow copy, the inspection station ensures that there is a comprehensive record of the inspection status on hand and that the vehicle owner has the documentation needed to prove that the necessary repairs have been made. This process not only helps keep accurate records but also facilitates the re-inspection of the vehicle to confirm that it complies with Missouri state regulations post-repair.
