Senior Exemption: The vehicle owner must be 65 years old or older, the vehicle must be 10 model years old or older, and the vehicle must be driven less than 5,000 miles per year. You may apply for this exemption either through Georgia’s Clean Air Force online form or through your local tag office.

Out-of-Area Extension: Available for vehicle owners who meet all requirements (the requirements can be found at CleanAirForce.com); vehicle must be tested upon return to the area.
