In DC you pay registration and inspection fees online to get a window sticker that also serves as a pass to ignore any 2 hour parking limits in your neighborhood, and actually go get the inspection whenever it expires.
For hybrids they don't even check emissions, just whether the "check engine" light is on and that the car isn't physically falling apart.
