In Calif emissions testing is every two years with no further vehicle inspection. No smog cert= no registration tag. If the current reg is expired beyond 30 days the car may be towed and impounded.

One of my service techs owned a truck and paid reg fees but was having trouble passing smog. A plate-reader cop spotted the truck, pulled him over and impounded the vehicle, leaving him stranded alongside the road. Sweet. $600 to get his truck back and it still won't pass smog.
