What happens after a vehicle passes a Class D inspection?

When a vehicle successfully passes a Class D inspection, an inspection sticker is issued as proof of this successful inspection. This sticker serves as an important visual indicator that the vehicle meets safety and emissions standards required by the state. Displaying the sticker is essential for legal operation on public roads, as it signifies that the vehicle has undergone the necessary checks and is compliant with regulations.

The other options do not accurately describe the process that follows a successful inspection. Automatic registration of the vehicle does not occur merely because of a passed inspection; registration is a separate process involving additional documentation. Similarly, a new license plate is not required simply upon passing an inspection unless there are changes in ownership or the vehicle itself needs a new plate due to other circumstances. While entering the vehicle's details into a database may happen as part of the inspection process, it is not a direct consequence of passing the inspection compared to the issuance of the inspection sticker.
