Yes. A valid registration and insurance are required, does not have to be a Pennsylvania registration. Note, Pennsylvania law does not require inspections until you're actually registered in Pennsylvania, then you have 10 days. Some inspection stations and mechanics may be unable or unwilling to wrap their heads around this, but it's fact.

Thanks so much. Just one more question just to confirm, you mean that an AZ temp registration will work in PA? I got the car from Carvana and they are headquartered in AZ, so I think it's a AZ registration. I am not sure how to tell for sure. Also, how do you know this? Do you work in a shop?

Former safety inspection mechanic certified. Any currently registered and insured vehicle qualified for safety inspection and sticker application, regardless of what state it was registered in. There was far more attention paid to insurance, ie meeting pa standards. I assume the same is true for emissions. Make sure you get emissions inspection in county of residence.
