My vehicle is currently out of state, how
can I renew it's registration without a California smog check?
Unless your vehicle is currently in Nevada or Mexico, you will not
need a California smog inspection in order to complete the registration
process. Do not obtain a smog inspection in another state; it will
not be valid in California.
Simply fill out and sign DMV's "Statement of Facts"
form explaining that your vehicle is out of state and the registration
tags will be mailed to wherever the car is currently located.
You can obtain a "Statement of Facts" form by calling
the California DMV at (800)777-0133.
