Connecticut: Registration, Inspection & Emissions

[ZOERA-SC7XX]

You think this may be because Gov Rell recommended to close all DMV offices and turn over control to the state police? Could be just a pissing contest.

After Jay posted his challenges in getting Model Year registration, I contacted the Vice-Chair of the 4C's, he works with the paid lobbyist, $1,100/mo, in contacting the DMV and Legislators. I reiterated what was happening in the denial of Model Year Registration. Had also included the 4C's Newsletter Editor.

After a spirited discussion, the Vice-Chair mentioned he personally knew of registrations, plural, after 10-1-09 that received Model Year registration, but would not share any specifics. In conclusion, I asked to have the 4C's and paid lobbyist actively participate in the resolution.

Intentionally waited until the April newsletter was published which I received today. There was no mention of this particular problem, while other legislative issues were covered in detail. Needless to say , I am very disappointed.

The standard answer from the 4C's has been to bring a copy of the legislation when inspecting/registering and then inform the DMV officials they have to follow the law.

FYI.........

DMV Improves Registration Renewal Process: October 21 ,2010

" DMV is now making it simpler to renew a vehicle’s registration by combining everything needed into one mailing from the agency..........."

http://www.ct.gov/dmv/cwp/view.asp?Q=467418&A=807

From the DMV web site, to verify payment received and registration is active.

"As a result of the elimination of vehicle registration stickers on August 1, 2010, the DMV has changed the process for renewing your registration. A notice to renew your registration will be mailed to you approximately 45 days in advance of its current expiration date. Your renewed registration is effective after your payment has been received by DMV and all compliance issues have been met. You will no longer receive a sticker in the mail. For further information please visit our page on the New Registration Renewal Process.

This page has been designed to confirm that your payment has been processed and your registration has been renewed. Enter information below to verify your registration expiration date. "

This does absolutely nothing... I showed copies to inspectors, supervisors, clerks, and more supervisors all over the Wethersfield office with nothing...

Jay, the posting you quoted goes back to March 30th. If there still is a problem with Model Year registration, the 4c's contact for providing the details is :

Vice Chairman John Parish:

patandlj@comcast.net

Since then , they have indicated successes with the registration process. If the November 4C's newsletter has any additional info I will mention.
