I would go to the dmv first. Because they will give you a print out of a paper that you will need to give to the smog tech. That and pay your renewal fees and you should be fine.

hmmm wierd or i don't know nothing
i went to dmv and tell them that i need to renewal my registration and tag, and i told them because i haven't recieve any papers from them, they look at my old registration and say do you still live on the address?. i said no , so i put my new address on my old reg then go to other window and pay for 170 bucks then go to other window and i got my new registration and my tag.

does this mean i skip smog or do i still have to go smog ?

Sounds like you might have slipped through. If you already have tags, then i guess you dont have to this time. But next year they will probably catch it.
