Maryland Inspection required if bought out of state?

[LPerryAIA]

Hi, 3 days into enjoying my '24 Carbonized Gray Hybrid Lariat. Bought from Long McArthur in Kansas. Getting paperwork together to register it here in Maryland. Can anyone confirm if a Maryland inspection is required prior to registering? Seems silly, but MVA website is unclear (says 'most used vehicles require inspection, but doesn't clearly address new vehicles). AAA seems to think an inspection is required. Thanks in advance for any guidance!

UPDATE: Maryland Inspection is NOT required if you have the 'Certificate of Origin' from Ford that the dealer should provide you with in the sales paperwork. Local Ford dealers were more than happy to schedule an inspection (at $100-$150). AAA processed my tag/title and I payed my sales tax, registration/tag/title fees, and am good to go!

If it is registered in Maryland, it will require a Maryland inspection just like any other car.

I’m in Maryland and have purchased many NEW vehicles out of state and an inspection is not required. Previously owned does require in inspection.

This past summer my new ‘23 Maverick came from PA as did my new TRX the year before. No inspection required. Last year my first Maverick (a ‘22) was purchased in Virginia, again brand new and no inspection required.

Be sure to indicate new, not previously titled vehicle...

Well can't speak for MD. But I bought mine in NY and live in NJ. I did have to go to inspection station and they just slapped the sticker on.
