a california registrations affair

[bigdreezy]

i have a question

if a car has been registered non-operational, is it possible to make it 'operational'? i know that if its a planned non op, you still have to pay registration, but its like 17 bucks instead of 150 for regular registration.
so if all the backed registration is paid, is that all you have to do is get a smog certificate, and go to the dmv and pay for the registration and tags?

i have money riding on this because my dad says that its like a salvage title, once its non op, its non op forever. i bet him 60 bucks that thats not true that you can renew and pay for the registration and fay for tags to make the car 'legal' to drive on california highways. i say "legal" ..ahh you all know what im talking about..

but yeah, is it possible to renew the registration of a planned non operational vehicle and make it a planned operational vehicle legal to drive on the road?

was a thread even necessary?


Reporting Vehicle Status (Registered vs. Non-operational) (FFVR 01) (http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/brochures/fast_facts/ffvr01.htm)

Filing for Non-Operational Status

If you decide to place a non-operational status on your vehicle, you must do so on or before your vehicle’s registration expiration date (Off-Highway Vehicles must pay the PNO fee on or before the OHV's biennial registration expiration date or the non-operational status option is forfeited. Full registration fees and penalties would be due.) The renewal notice has a box designated for you to check that indicates you want the non-operational status marked on your vehicle’s record. The Planned Non-Operation (PNO) fee must be sent to DMV with the bottom portion of the renewal notice on which you have checked the Planned Non-Operation box.

If you do not have a renewal notice you may complete a Certificate of Planned Non-operation (REG 102) and mail it along with a check or money order to:

Department of M

u do not have a renewal notice you may complete a Certificate of Planned Non-operation (REG 102) and mail it along with a check or money order to:

Department of Motor Vehicles
Registration Operations
PO Box 942869
Sacramento, CA 94269-0001

Once a non-operational status is placed on a vehicle’s record, it remains until you decide to operate the vehicle and pay full registration renewal fees. You do not have to respond to the Non-operated Vehicle Notice that you will receive. However, if you have personalized plates on your vehicle, you must pay an annual retention fee to retain your priority to that plate configuration. If the DMV does not receive the retention fee, your priority to the plate configuration will be forfeited and it will be made available to someone else.


What if I Decide to Operate my Non-Operational Status Vehicle?

If your vehicle has a valid non-operational status on file with the DMV and you decide to operate it, full registration renewal fees (and full or prorated weight fees, if appropriate) become due on the date of first operation. These fees must be paid prior to operating the vehicle or penalties will be assessed.

NOTE: When a non-operational status is set on the vehicle record, the registration expiration date is left unchanged.

YES your right. Salvage title dosnt matter. You can re register the vehicle if you pay the registration fees.
