Proof of Correction is typically required when a vehicle receives a citation from a law enforcement official. The Proof of Correction is offered by the CHP (California Highway Patrol) or a local Sheriff's office, and must be submitted to the DMV by the vehicle's owner.
It appears in this case you might need to visit a local CHP office, show them your passing smog check results, and ask them to sign off on any citation you have (or provide you with a Proof of Correction document) which you will then show the DMV agent.
