The weight certificate was NOT listed one my DMV registration receipt. They will NOT issue me my SB certificate without it. This is my 4th cobra I have registered and have never had to do this. I'm just reporting my experience. Darren.

Weird. So this is the BAR station telling you this vs. the DMV? Always a new wrinkle to push your patience and waste your time.

interesting regarding the weight verification. I just secured an SB-100 # yesterday and will take my car to the BAR and CHP in the coming months. The DMV didn't list a wt verification requirement on my paperwork, wondering if this will come up when I visit the BAR... hmmmm, this sounds like it may be a new requirement but I wonder if it's just a miss communication...

It actually came up when I did not receive my SB# certificate in the mail. I called Sacramento and they said they will not send me the cert. without the weight cert. and I need to bring the CHP vin. cert. and weight cert. to my local DMV office and they will give me the SB# cert for the BAR. I know it's confusing.:CRY:

PaulF is correct that the SB100 and titling are different items. However, you really can't have one without the other. I got the SB100 (smog exemption) as part of all the running around I had to do in advance of getting the actual title. Since there are so many parts to finalizing the receipt of a title, I did lump it all together in what I wrote. Obtaining the title is the very last thing that happens. My car passed all the "tests" and even had plates and registration paperwork. I just never got the title as the state was holding it because my car was "fradulently" registered.

What I was attempting to get across to someone in the process, is to just roll with what they ask of you. Any refusal to provide paperwork, do something out of order, or adopting an attitude with anyone at the DMV will be counterproductive.

Here is a phone number to call at the DMV in Sacramento to possibly clarify or solve the SB100/Titling issues you are having: 916-657-7704.

Ask to speak with Lisa or Carlene (there may be others), they were extremely helpful when I experencied some titling issues with a car purchased out of state.

Calmly and respectfully explain what issues you are having and they may be able to provide answers or provide assistance.

Please be aware; they wield a very big stick that can also become a magic wand.

Good luck.

The smog exemption (SB100) process is part of the registration/titling process for a SPCNS (Specially Constructed) car.

You cannot get title w/o having the SB100 certificate or passing the visual and sniffer at the BAR and getting your sticker, which is where you complete the SB100 process. You cannot call the CHP, until you have your SB100 certificate in hand. And you need to have your MSO in order to get your SB100 certificate

Now you also need a weight certificate.

You say different process? I say it's all part of the puzzle to get your car legally on the road here in CA. Nothing is terribly difficult, just time consuming.

while I think you are 100% right, I think it is a sad state of affairs when the government, and in particular government employees can negatively impact an honest, had working, tax paying citizen's life and property with their bureaucracy and apathy.

Hi

Just read the link you provided, it states that only commercial vehicles require weight certification below 10,000 lbs. since our cars are not commercial vehicles this should not apply.

at least that his my understanding after reading this link
