California Car in Colorado Needs Smog Test

Hi is there a place I can take my California registered vehicle for a smog check in Denver? I'm a student there studying. Thank you.
Answer:

Unfortunately an out of state smog check (emissions test) will not be accepted by the California Department of Motor Vehicles. You may however file for an Out-of-State Smog Check Exemption. See REG 5103. If you submit this form along with your registration renewal notice and payment, the DMV will mail your new registration card and sticker to the DMV address on record. You may also use NeedTags.com to file your smog exemption online (for a nominal fee). NeedTags can mail your new registration card and sticker to your out of state address (any address in the U.S.) and on the same day you email them your REG 5103. posted by SmogTips Support
