FREE CARB Clean Truck Check Compliance Guide

This no B.S. guide teaches you exactly how to setup a CTC-VIS account, add vehicles and print your compliance certificate

As a credentialed Clean Truck Check tester, at Clean Truck Check Pro we are committed to helping our customers stay informed about and compliant with California's air quality regulations.

A critical component of this compliance is the California Clean Truck Check Vehicle Inspection System (CTC-VIS) portal.

This page aims to clear up some confusion about this system and explain why it’s essential for truck owners and operators to create an account on the CTC-VIS portal.

What is the California Clean Truck Check Vehicle Inspection System (CTC-VIS)?

The CTC-VIS is a database managed by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). It tracks the compliance status of heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) with California’s emissions regulations.

Whenever we perform a Clean Truck Check, the results are automatically uploaded to this system to ensure your vehicle meets state standards.

Why is Creating an Account on the CTC-VIS Portal Important?

Even if your truck passes our Clean Truck Check inspection, simply passing the test isn't enough to avoid complications with the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and other agencies.

Here’s why creating an account on the CTC-VIS portal is crucial:

Ensures Compliance Verification

If you don’t have an account on the CTC-VIS portal, the DMV cannot verify your vehicle’s compliance status. This verification is necessary for your vehicle registration process.

1. Prevents Registration Holds

Without a verified account on the CTC-VIS portal, even if your truck passes the Clean Truck Check, the DMV will place a registration hold on your vehicle. This hold legally prevents your truck from operating on California roads, potentially costing you time and money.

2. Avoids Confusion and Frustration

Many customers mistakenly believe that their Clean Truck Check results were not submitted because of the registration hold. However, this hold occurs due to a lack of verification through the CTC-VIS portal, not a failure on our part to upload the test results.

Steps to Create Your CTC-VIS Portal Account

To avoid these issues, follow these simple steps to create an account on the CTC-VIS portal:

1. Visit the CTC-VIS Portal

Go to the CTC-VIS portal (https://cleantruckcheck.arb.ca.gov/).

2. Register Your Account

Follow the instructions to create a new account. You will need to provide basic information about your vehicle and business.

IMPORTANT: Use a valid email address as your user name

3. Add Your Vehicle

Once your account is created, add your vehicle to ensure your compliance status is correctly tracked in the system.

4. Pay Your CTC-VIS Compliance Fee

California Air Resources Board charges an annual fee of $30 per vehicle, which will need to be paid before your vehicle is compliant.

5. Regularly Check Your Status

Log in periodically to check your compliance status and make sure info is up to date, and find our when your periodic Clean Truck Check inspections are due.

Why This Matters for Your Business

Understanding and using the CTC-VIS portal is essential for any heavy-duty vehicle owner in California. Compliance with CARB regulations not only helps reduce pollution and improve air quality but also ensures that your business can operate smoothly without any unexpected interruptions or fines.

By taking these steps today, you can avoid frustration and ensure that your trucks stay on the road, keeping your business running efficiently.
