All of what you need to get your Ford Mustang back on the road and legal can
be done... But I'm afraid, not without some hefty fines. Start by visiting
the DMV and explain your situation. They will give you a list of required
documents you will need at this point (mainly a smog check certificate -
which by the way you can get right now if you'd like without even visiting
the DMV) and also the amount of money owed to bring your Mustang's
registration status current. And yes, you can pay them the penalty fees you
owe (for not completing registration; yes there is a fine for that) from
2008, 2009 and 2010 to get tags which will be current until 2011. but the
most important thing they will need now, besides your money, is a passing
smog test certificate and proof of insurance. And again you can get a smog
check before you visit the DMV to speed things up if you'd like. Just visit
a "test only" smog check center, take them whatever paperwork you have from
before and they will smog check you car; no problem.
