CA PNO car transfer and smog
Hello, I’m looking for some advice on how to transfer the title from my friend, who’s gifting me his car. His car is currently PNO so I understand that I should be able to transfer the title without the car passing smog first. Since he has the title on hand, do I only submit the Reg 227 form when I go to the DMV? Are there any other forms that need to be completed?
Additionally, when I go into the DMV to do the title transfer, would I be able to request for a temporary operating permit that same day, so I can drive the car to the mechanic shop for some repair work and then hopefully off to the SMOG shop?
Edit: For clarification, my friend is handing over the title to me so it appears I do not need to complete the Reg 227. I just need to complete the statement of facts since the vehicle is being gifted.
