What is required for a licensed smog technician who is moving to a new address in the same city?

• A. Notify the local BAR, within two weeks, in writing, of the new address.
• B. Notify the local DMV, in writing, of the new address.
• C. Post a notice at the shop window.
• D. No action is required when moving within the same city.

Answer: (A)

When you hold a BAR-smog technician license, the agency that issued your license requires you to keep them updated about where you work and live. If you move, you must send a written notice to the Bureau of Automotive Repair within two weeks. This keeps your license records accurate and ensures you receive all important communications—such as renewal notices, compliance information, and any regulatory updates. Even moving within the same city counts as a change that BAR needs to know, so simply posting a notice at your shop isn’t sufficient, and asking the DMV or doing nothing wouldn’t satisfy the obligation. The direct action that satisfies the requirement is submitting a written notice to BAR within the two-week window.
