The temporary permit the dealer issued should allot for the time being. We are unable to advise on what is needed (fees, etc.) until we receive/review your paperwork. However, if the dealership told you what items are needed (such as smog, etc) you can start doing those items and mail the originals to us. Either way we will email you with all instructions once we have you in our system.

CA Vehicle Verification - ORIGINAL FORM MUST BE MAILED, NOT SCANNED. This is a physical inspection and can be done for free at any CA DMV without an appointment, or you can pay a small fee for a private verifier near you. DMV or verifier will provide the completed form. (DO NOT SIGN OR A NEW FORM WILL BE REQUIRED)

A vehicle verification is the same thing as a free VIN inspection at any California DMV. Most times you don’t even have to go inside, nor do you need an appointment. Usually there’s an outdoor area where you just pull your vehicle up and an agent will come check your vin numbers, then they will provide the form and that is the original form you must mail to us. Should you need to go inside at all, you do not need to wait in their lines, simply ask for a verifier who can provide the inspection/form for you. You do not need to fill out any paperwork or pay them any fees as we already have all required documents from the dealership to register your vehicle. ONLY THE VERIFIER SIGNS THE FORM. YOU AS THE CUSTOMER DO NOT SIGN IT, or a new form will be required.

Any process started at the DMV will remain as incomplete. Since the dealer sends us all of the original documents along with the sales tax check for the state of California you will be unable to complete your registration at the DMV. We are DMV business partners which allows us to print registration cards and assign your plates in house. I can assure you, we have a quick turnaround time as long as we receive everything from customer in a timely manner.

If you've already paid fees at the DMV, we'll need you to mail us a copy of that receipt showing fees paid, along with the items stated in your email. If there was a discrepancy in your payment, we'll advise on any remaining balance or possible reimbursement.

The amount owed is strictly for CA registration fees or CA sales tax that were not included at the time of your purchase. We do not charge customers any fees for our services.

ALL new/used cars entering CA from another state require a California smog certificate, unless vehicle is 100% ELECTRIC. Please note that the electronic copy sent to the DMV does not apply to us, which is why we need a copy for our own records.

Once registration is completed, it'll be updated through the CA database. We'll mail you the printed copy of registration with plates and tags. Title is sent separately, as it'll come from Sacramento and can take up to 5 weeks to receive. Title will be sent directly to Lien Holder, unless the vehicle is paid off then Title would be sent straight to you.

Since we do receive high volumes of mail daily, our staff will immediately check to see if we have received all required items from the customer, and then we process accordingly. Please be sure any fees owed are paid before we receive your mail to avoid delays. We confirm receipt of payment via email when customers let us know their choice of payment method. Once all is received, it typically takes 2-4 business days to process. At that point, we’ll email you confirmation letting you know plates, tags, and registration have been mailed to you via USPS.
