California: Amnesty Passes

[Got the Bug]

Gunner,

Just to clarify, the DMV told you that both the "year first sold" and an "year" (two distinct fields on the final reg form) both should be 0000? If so, that's contrary to everything I've seen in the past, but nothing surprises me when it comes to how the SB100 process is administered.

As I've mentioned in the past, there's a general template for the process, but you can count on a couple of curve balls before it's over.

BTW - Half of the people in line had the "year first sold" as 2007 when I was in line for SB100. The DMV yanked the paperwork out of our hands and changed it in their system to 00/00/0000 before they made the call to Sac for the SB100 sequence numbers. Year on the final registration form (like the majority of people who have SB100) is shown as the year you paid your fees.

Update: I took a look at my temp registration document from the DMV and my final registration card. The Temp registration form has three different fields relate to Year.

Temp Registration Form

- YR MODEL = 0000
- YR 1ST SOLD = 0000
- *YR = 20xx (year fees paid)

Final Registration Form/Pink Slip

- DATE FIRST SOLD = 00/00/0000
- YR = 20xx
