Smogs for Renewal or Transfer of Title
The State of California requires smog inspections every two years for vehicles 8 years or older. Smog inspections are also required for vehicle transfer titles ( except for vehicles less than 4 years old).
Exception to Smog Checks for Title Transfers
If a vehicle is less than 4 years old, no smog inspection is required for transfer.
When a vehicle is more than 4 years old, a seller must provide evidence of a current smog certification except when one of the following occurs:
Smog Tests for Vehicle Transfers within the Family
The transfer occurs between a spouse, domestic partner, sibling, child, parent, grandparent, or grandchild
If you have already completed a Recent Smog Check
A new smog check isn’t required if biennial smog certification was submitted to DMV within 90 days prior to the vehicle transfer date (a vehicle inspection report may be required for proof of certification).
