This information leads me to believe that VIR is valid for 12 months, and even if you don't have a hardcopy of the VIR it will be on record at the tag office.

My conclusion could be wrong though.

I got excited after reading then.......

And then sad after reading this Man that really blows....that's even more money to fork out. Ok well how about this too. I bought a car about a week ago. Another hatch, with a stock motor. I know that car will pass emissions for sure. But should I register my car now, even though my birthday is in a month? Or would I have to pay to register and then to renew since it's before my birthday?
