5-Day Pass
Need to run in California right now? We help you secure a temporary 5-Day Pass so you can operate legally while your compliance or registration is being processed.
How it works
We prepare and submit the pass request for you and confirm it by email, then help you plan the permanent fix so you are not back in the same spot next week.
The 5-Day Pass is CARB's short-term authorization that lets a heavy-duty vehicle operate in California for a limited window — a lifeline when a load can't wait for full compliance paperwork to clear.
