Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I know if my car needs an inspection?
If you’re a resident of California but temporarily residing elsewhere, or if you’ve purchased a used car from out of state, your vehicle may require a DMV out-of-state car inspection. Check the DMV website for specific guidelines based on your situation. -
Can I schedule an appointment online?
Unfortunately, inspections are typically conducted at designated locations and cannot be scheduled online. It’s best to contact your local DMV office directly to inquire about availability. -

Bring all relevant documents related to your vehicle, including registration, proof of insurance, out-of-state title (if applicable), and a valid driver’s license. -
What happens if my car fails the inspection?
If issues are found during the inspection, you’ll be provided with a list of required repairs or modifications. Once the necessary changes are made, your vehicle can be re-inspected within a specified time frame. -
How long does the entire process usually take?
The total time depends on several factors, including wait times at the DMV and the complexity of any required repairs. Plan for a few hours to complete the entire process, from initial inspection to final approval.
