2002 BMW 330i is out of state.

Hello My car is temporarily in Portugal while I work here and I just received my registration renewal notice at my address in California. how do I apply for a smog exemption? Thanks
Answer:

Portugal is a difficult one... California will mail out your registration tags to another state as long as it's not Nevada or Arizona. If your BMW is in those two states, you'll need to bring it back to California to get a smog check. Since your BMW is out of the country we don't know what the DMV would do. You might want to call them and inquire. Normally you fill a DMV statement of facts form stating your vehicle is out of the state and they will exempt your vehicle from the smog check. Call the DMV at (800) 777-0133. posted by SmogTips Support
