Print it. While police may accept it, repair shops do not for some reason for inspections.

Im an inspection tech, we are required to take it off a phone now. Not sure how long ago that changed, but its been a few years. Still need a physical copy of registration tho.

I have a fleet vehicle and we are only issued print outs. Get my pa inspection just fine with a print out. No one has ever said anything otherwise.

yes, we take it both ways. We cant require the customer to have a paper copy of insurance.

If they shove your phone in the folder with your car's paperwork, it won't fit in the drawer

Mine has always been accepted digitally when I’ve taken my car in. Either they copy info down or I email them the attachment and they print it.

Yeah all places I've been to for the last several years have an email address at the counter to send insurance/registration to.

Same with vehicle registration. PA will let you renew online but you need to print it out yourself, and an auto shop won’t be able to scan it off your phone.

One year I renewed that way, and forgot about printing or saving the new registration entirely. Had to go to a notary public for a new printout, which cost a small fee.
