  "Do not obtain a smog inspection in another state, it will not be valid in California. The California DMV does not recognize out of state smog inspections for the purposes of initial vehicle registration in this state or vehicle registration renewal. "Unless your vehicle is in Nevada or Mexico, you DO NOT need to bring it back to California in order to complete your registration. Simply fill out and sign DMV's 'Statement of Facts' form explaining that your vehicle is out of state and the registration tags will be mailed to wherever the car is currently located. You can obtain a 'Statement of Facts' form by calling the California DMV at (800)777-0133" or download the 'Statement of Facts' form at http://www.smogtips.com/reg256.pdf
