Smog check rules and DMV offices for La Puente

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 La Puente. It says whether this year's renewal needs a check and whether it has to be at a STAR station.
