Pass is not paid

A passing test only counts after the vehicle is reported in CTC-VIS and the CARB annual compliance fee is paid. Test fee ≠ CARB fee.

CARB CTC-VIS: report + annual fee + passing emissions test to demonstrate compliance.

PASS ≠ PAID | CARBMAN vs Clean Truck Check fee

Description (paste as-is)

When NorCal says you PASSED, that is the TEST only.

You still pay CARB's annual Clean Truck Check fee in CTC-VIS (separate from the $75 OBD / $250 smoke test).

Remember: pay the CARB fee — it's separate from your test. Miss it and DMV can hold your registration.
