CA Registration help

I would go to a different DMV office. Since you have an SB100 number sequence number and the car has always been in California, there is absolutely no reason why you would have to go through the SB100 process again.

If you don't get any satisfaction, you might want to search for Mr. Morgester here on CC and send him an email.

Also, take a picture of the SB100 BAR tag that shows the sequence number. Keep pressing them until someone comes up with correct answer.

Woah!
Lesson learned. When buying a used SB-100 car, make sure the year stays "0000" during your reg.
When I bought a used SPF SB-100, I simply went to the AAA and luckily they kept it at "0000". They questioned it and I told them why it should remain. But I had no idea what could come out of the wrong year being entered?

I second the "go to a different DMV". Then get the manager involved.

They have made a mistake and they should be the ones to correct it. Year should be 0000 and the SB100 negates any future smog checks.

Good freakin luck dealing with those morons!

Once obtained, the SB100 exemption is good for the life of the car as long as it hasn't been re-registered in another State in between.
