How To Register Oregon Car In California

And so long as your vehicle is temporarily located in Oregon, and you intend on returning to California in the futurity, you may request a Smog Check Exemption.

The State of California does not accept a "return" date requirement. In other words, if you're unsure as to when you'll exist returning to California or when your vehicle will be brought back, you are allowed to write-in "unknown" for your return appointment (Line 1e of the REG 5103 form). The DMV will accept the application.

We recommend mentioning a return date even if it is an approximation.
