Registration Renewal
Out-of-State Title Transfers
In-State Title Transfer
To Renew your vehicle Registration, you don't need to bring in any paperwork. We only need to know the license plate number, and the last three digits in the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to get your registration renewed. You may also need to smog your vehicle. Smog inspections need to be completed every other year on vehicles 4+ years old.

- Smog inspection in the last 90 days
- Special cases may require more documentation

Out-of-State Title Transfers
Transferring a vehicle that is currently registered in another state into California, and receiving California registration and license plates, is known as an Out-of-State Title Transfer. This will need to be done whether you already own the vehicle and are changing to California registration, or if you just bought the vehicle from another party and are transferring it to your name. Out-of-State Title Transfers typically require:
- Vehicle title signed by seller
- Smog inspection in the last 90 days
- VIN Verification
- Weight certificate for commercial vehicles (including pickup trucks)
- Special cases may require more documentation
