Just as a heads up smogging can be a real pain in the butt if your car has never been through one. I tried to bring a truck over from texas a few years back and they wouldn't smog it because it didn't pass a "visual". It might be a good idea to go to one of the smog stations and have your car "pre-smogged" so you don't have something unexpected happen.

But yeah if your car passes smog then all you have to do is take your certificate to the DMV and register it.

Good luck
