Smog check rules and DMV offices for Colton

California asks for a smog check at every other registration renewal once a gas or hybrid car is more than eight model years old. Diesels have no age exemption.

Selling a car older than four model years needs a certificate under 90 days old, and a car moving here from another state needs one to register.

Your DMV renewal notice is the final word for an address in Colton. It says whether this year's renewal needs a check and whether it has to be at a STAR station.
