Some of these important changes were made to commercially registered vehicles as well. If you’re unsure whether your vehicle has a commercial registration, check your registration card and look for the “registration code 11”. The license plate of the vehicle will also begin with an “X” if it is commercially registered. These vehicles fall under different guidelines than regular passenger vehicles and here are a few of the important factors you need to know about the process. ### **When Is Your Safety Inspection Due?** ![Learn more about the requirements for your car to pass state inspections.](https://www.deboersauto.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%201032020ftl%20-%20Understanding%20The%20Inspection%20Requirements%20For%20Your%20Commercially%20Registered%20Vehicle.jpeg?width=300&name=Blog%201032020ftl%20-%20Understanding%20The%20Inspection%20Requirements%20For%20Your%20Commercially%20Registered%20Vehicle.jpeg)The state of New Jersey requires annual inspections for commercially registered vehicles.
