You do not have to register in CA and only have to get a smog check to appease the states money grab. 99% of the smog stations will not do anything and send the info to the state so you get your $10 certificate or whatever they are extorting from us now just to make your base happy.

Most of the shops are pond the bases know the requirement. If it sounds like you're getting shafted, you are and find another shop.

Where are you stationed and what part of WV are you from?

Sticker requirement is gone for the Navy. I've been able to get on Pendleton, Miramar, and MCRD without stickers every time so I am guessing if they see Navy on the ID they don't require the sticker.

Now, on Navy bases, the car is still required to be registered with the installation for access. Are they checking it at the gate? Not often but they do random and administrative inspections throughout the base so if you get caught up in one of these and your car is not registered then you are looking at a ticket at the bare minimum and likely worse with the chain of command.

You probably will be able to fine shops that will pass you on smog for a "fee". You will have to hunt around for what is going to work for you. Hope that clears it up a bit.
