In California you do NOT have to change all of that if you stay less than 6 months. After that, you very well could be stopped and questions by a officer of the law. Just remember to ALWAYS keep a copy of your contract in your glove compartment. I have NEVER had trouble in California staying less than 6 months.
I was in AZ for 13 weeks and got a ticket, yes ticket for having IL plates. I was told I would have to get AZ plates, emission test or face a fine. I thinnk it depends on who is doing the ticketing. My friend has CA plates and has been here over a year, lived in the same complex I did, did not get a ticket, notice or anything. Is that fair? No, but I can't argue that. I would check into it so you don't get into trouble. Call the CA DMV and ask them.

I am thinking about taking a job in California. But I was told thatI need to get it registered, titled, and emissions checked, plus get a Calfornia drivers license. Is this true? Thanks Sandy
