This message is to inform you that there is no change in the test authorization (TA) fee for 2017. Each inspection/transaction pre-paid to Opus will remain the same at $0.436 (43.6 cents) for the next year. Test Authorizations will continue to be sold in batches of twenty (20) at a cost of $8.72 per batch. The TA fee is for each inspection your NYVIP2 CVIS conducts. 

Under contract with the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (NYSDMV), Opus Inspection Inc. (Opus) is the provider of Computerized Vehicle Inspection System (CVIS) equipment and information management for the New York Vehicle Inspection Program (NYVIP2). Your inspection station has a contract with Opus for those services. 

NYSDMV does not have discretion in determining the test authorization fee amount each year. The contract between NYSDMV and Opus requires a recalculation of this fee each year based on the number of inspections/transactions occurring in the prior year by the entire inspection station network. 

If you have questions, you may call Opus Inspection at 1-866-623-8378.
