Hey, this a old post but I'll ask here. I'm getting the VIN check tomorrow then need to do brake check/lights and finally smog. My question is cars reg expired yesterday and was given a 1 day permit to bring the car back for tomorrow VIN check. Will they give me more days after tomorrow's check so I can do the repairs to pass smog and the brake/lights check? I need tires and takes 2 to 3 days to get them toy shop of choice. Wondering how it works and if they do give you more time , how many days max they give you? More on reddit.com

r/DMV on Reddit: What exactly is needed for a VIN Verification? (California)
September 9, 2024 -
Bought a car out of state. Dealership is asking me for Smog test and Vin verification. Not sure what’s exactly needed for the vin verification.
The car isn’t registered in my name either, it’s under my moms, would she need to be there with me to get it done? Or would I be able to go by myself and get it done?
Would appreciate any help, thanks!

VIN verification can be done at DMV or by ‘authorized’ agents. At my DMV, the verification line is separate from the long line of driving test, so don’t waste your time in the wrong line outside. You can get the form and just get your car right in line, don’t park in the lot and wait inside. I don’t think she needs to be there.
