Well i got a notice in the mail recently that its time to renew my registration. It saids that i need to have proof of insurance and i wont be buying any till next year when i am done with fixing and tuning it.

Is it required that i show them i have this vehicle covered in order to renew or can i show them that i just have insurance that covers me and other cars i own. Thanks..

 

well...either you show proof of insurance for the car being renewed, or you register it as non-operational.

 

If i register it as non-operation, and later on i renew it to operational. Do i have to do a smog check again ?...i just smogged it this year when i got the car...

 

From the DMV site....

Filing for Non-Operational Status

If you decide to place a non-operational status on your vehicle, you must do so on or before your vehicle’s registration expiration date (Off-Highway Vehicles must pay the PNO fee on or before the OHV's biennial registration expiration date or the non-operational status option is forfeited. Full registration fees and penalties would be due.) The renewal notice has a box designated for you to check that indicates you want the non-operational status marked on your vehicle’s record. The Planned Non-Operation (PNO) fee must be sent to DMV with the bottom portion of the renewal notice on which you have checked the Planned Non-Operation box.....

Once a non-operational status is placed on a vehicle’s record, it remains until you decide to operate the vehicle and pay full registration renewal fees. You do not have to respond to the Non-operated Vehicle Notice that you will receive. However, if you have personalized plates on your vehicle, you must pay an annual retention fee to retain your priority to that plate configuration. If the DMV does not receive the retention fee, your priority to the plate configuration will be forfeited and it will be made available to someone else.

Don't worry...if you need smog hook ups....PM Wackyracer. He hooks up everyone in the West Section.

 

Im just a middle-man. My source is Batmobile. Please PM him directly.

 

Not true, Batmobile doesn't even come on the board anymore. Stopy denying your services.

 

Regarding insurance, you must insure the vehicle to register your car. Insuring other cars will not satisfy the dmv to register this one.

 

You need to show proof of insurance for the specific vehicle. Otherwise, you need to register as a non-op.

You can't use the blanket insurance coverage for this case, as you are not purchasing a vehicle.

BTW...just to let you know. Recent legislation passed, allows the police to access DMV records directly. Therefore, a police car driving behind you can tell if your registration is current. They will be able to tell if you have current insurance coverage or not. This was done in an attempt to catch those individuals who buy insurance for the first month...and then drop it for the rest of the term in order to satisfy DMV requirements.

In short, register as non-op, or get it insured.
