At the inspection
What to bring, how much the inspection costs, whether you need to book and when the wait is shortest.
What should I bring to the STK?
The vehicle registration certificate (the small registration card) is enough. If you had the emissions tested beforehand at a separate station, bring the test report too. You do not need the large vehicle logbook or an ID card.
Link to the answerHow much does an STK cost?
Each station sets its own prices; there is no official price list. According to overviews from 2025–2026, a regular car inspection costs roughly CZK 1,100–1,400 and the emission test another CZK 600–1,000. Verified prices of individual stations are shown on the station page with the date of verification.
Stations by region and district
Link to the answerDo I need to book an STK?
It depends on the station. Some only take booked customers, others also walk-ins, but the wait is usually longer. The safest option is to call – the phone number is on each station page.
Link to the answerWhen is the STK least busy?
For each station we show on which days and at which hours it carries out the most and the fewest inspections – calculated from actual inspection records in the open data of the Czech Ministry of Transport.

Yes. The station does not need a power of attorney or an ID – just bring the vehicle with its registration certificate.
