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.

Lately I’ve been contemplating on doing a PART to transfer into the county I live in. But as a GPS Agent, I’m not sure if I want to include CPSRM units on my list. I’ve been told by a few other PAs that with my GPS experience, I’ll most likely get moved over to the GPS unit within 6 months if I get into a CPSRM unit. Is this a common practice? I know that if you’re not carrying a GPS caseload after 6 months you’ll have to redo the training. I don’t mind including CPSRM units on my transfer list to increase my chances of transferring closer to home but I don’t want to be stuck on that caseload. I rather stay at my current spot since the commute isn’t too bad.
