Vehicle Registration Required for Clean Truck Check

About the Program

To comply with California’s Clean Truck Check (HD I/M), all diesel and alternative‑fuel vehicles with a GVWR over 14,000 lbs — including those registered out of state — must be enrolled in CARB’s online database.

How to Register Your Truck(s)

  • Visit the official CARB portal: cleantruckcheck.arb.ca.gov
  • Create an account and register each vehicle
  • Submit VIN, plate, and vehicle details
  • Pay the $30 annual compliance fee per vehicle
  • Schedule testing with a CARB‑credentialed tester (that’s us) and we’ll upload your results

Senate Bill 210 directed CARB to implement Heavy‑Duty Inspection & Maintenance (HD I/M) to ensure emissions systems on heavy‑duty vehicles function properly on California roads. Clean Truck Check is CARB’s HD I/M program covering periodic inspections and reporting for applicable vehicles.

FAQs

Which Inspection does my truck need?

Model‑year and fuel type determine the inspection: OBD for most 2013+ diesel and 2018+ alt‑fuel; opacity for 2012 & older diesel; visual‑only for 2017 & older alt‑fuel. We’ll confirm by VIN.

How fast do you upload results?

Immediately after testing. Posting appears in CARB’s system (CTC‑VIS/CVRAS) right away in most cases. We also email a PDF report.

Can you help with a DMV registration hold?

Yes. Once results are posted, we outline the steps to clear the hold and provide any documentation needed.

Do you test out‑of‑state trucks operating in CA?

Absolutely. Out‑of‑state vehicles operating in California must still comply. We’ll help you register and test.

Do you offer nights or weekends?

Yes — select after‑hours at booking or contact us for a custom window.

What if my truck fails?

We’ll note reason codes and provide basic readiness guidance. Your re‑test is free within 30 days for the same VIN.
