Registration
Blocked?
If CARB placed a hold on your truck's DMV registration for Clean Truck Check non-compliance, the hold blocks nearly all DMV transactions until every requirement is cleared. In most cases, the missing piece is a passing emissions test — that's exactly what we deliver, at your location.
Why the hold is there
SB 210 lets CARB automatically place DMV registration holds on vehicles that miss Clean Truck Check requirements — unreported vehicles, unpaid annual compliance fees, missing emissions tests, or open enforcement actions. The hold doesn't expire on its own; it releases only when the vehicle is fully compliant.
What it takes to clear it
- Vehicle reported in the CTC-VIS system (cleantruckcheck.arb.ca.gov)
- Annual compliance fee paid (~$32/vehicle, paid by you in the portal)
- Passing emissions test on file — OBD scan or smoke opacity + visual
- Any open enforcement actions resolved
How fast it releases
Once all requirements are met — including your passing test — the SB 210 hold typically releases from DMV in 1–3 business days. We submit test results to CARB the same day we test, so the clock starts immediately.
What we handle for you
- Mobile test at your yard — the truck never has to move
- Any model year: OBD (2013+) or smoke opacity + visual (pre-2013)
- Same-day submission to the CARB portal
- Guidance on the CTC-VIS steps if you haven't registered the vehicle yet
- Free retest within 30 days if a repair is needed first
Every day the hold sits is a day the truck can't legally renew. If you're mid-sale or mid-renewal, don't wait — call or text (714) 785-9911 and we'll get the test done at your location.
