Moving & Temporary Operating Permits

Need to drive or move a vehicle with expired registration, or one that is currently on non-op? Come by and pick up a moving permit so you can drive it without worrying about getting pulled over or cited.

A moving permit is the legal way to get a vehicle from point A to point B when its registration is not current — moving it to a new address, taking it for a smog check, or delivering it to a buyer.

It only takes a few minutes. Bring your paperwork and we will issue it while you wait.

What to bring

  • Your registration paperwork or the VIN and license plate number
  • Your driver license or ID
  • Proof of insurance for the vehicle

Not sure you have everything? Text us at 805-710-7219 and we will confirm before you drive over.
