CA DMV Smog Check

---

Currently, smog inspections are required for all vehicles except diesel powered vehicles 1997 year model and older or with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVWR) of more than 14,000 lbs, electric, natural gas powered vehicles over 14,000 lbs, motorcycles, trailers, or gasoline powered vehicles 1975 and older.

Smog & emission checks are a particularly important consideration for car owners everywhere, especially given the growing worldwide concerns regarding the environmental effects of owning a motor vehicle. Unfortunately, it can be quite difficult to find reliable and accurate information about smog & emission checks in many states, which can be a challenge when you want to make sure that you are doing all that you can to operate your motor vehicle in accordance with local laws AND do your part in protecting the environment at the same time. We feel strongly that it is the responsibility of every car owner to learn as much as he or she can about this very pressing concern, which is why we have made smog & emission checks information our priority.

Of course,  local laws and regulations regarding smog & emission checks is no excuse for non-conformance, but we do understand how difficult it can sometimes be to get the information that you need. In fact, it is this difficulty that has made many otherwise responsible and conscientious car owners simply give up in frustration, regardless of any good intentions that they may have. With that in mind, we have done the hard work of collecting all of the important and current information regarding smog & emission checks, so that it will be much easier for you to do the right thing. You can be sure that you can operate your vehicle with a clear conscience. Even if you were not particularly concerned about the effects of operating your motor vehicle on the environment, you will still have to conform to the local laws and regulations of your particular state in this regard. Unfortunately, doing that is not always as clear cut and simple as it seems, especially when you realize that different states have slightly different regulations regarding smog & car emissions. If you have moved to another state for example, and are expecting the laws of your new home state to be exactly like the laws in your previous state, you will likely be in for a costly surprise. You can avoid any such difficulties in the future however, by going through the information on our guide, which has been organized into different sections according to state. Many other guides that offer smog & emission checks information tend to lump all of the data into one general section, which makes it hard to get the specific information that you need. With this information however, you can be sure that you will get the requirements that are applicable to your state, and you can do so with a minimum of difficulty. Check out CaDMV Renewal for all of the appropriate offices and smog & emission approved stations so that you do not have to go through the trouble of searching for them yourself.
