Is a Notice & Order inspection the same as an Out-of-Province inspection?

No. An Out-of-Province inspection is required when bringing a vehicle into BC from another province for registration purposes. A Notice & Order inspection is a separate requirement triggered by a provincial enforcement document. K-Tech Automotive performs both types of inspection as an authorized DIF.
