Which document is shown during inspection?

• A. Vehicle registration
• B. Title certificate
• C. Insurance card
• D. Vehicle Inspection Report (VIR)

Answer: (D)

In a California smog check, the document shown that presents the test results is the Vehicle Inspection Report. This form records the vehicle’s identification, mileage, the steps of the emissions test, and whether the vehicle passed or failed, along with any notes from the inspector. It serves as the official record used by the DMV to issue or verify a valid smog certificate and to document the inspection for the owner’s records. The other documents—registration, title, and insurance card—are important for different purposes (proof of ownership, current registration, and financial responsibility), but they are not the report that displays the emissions inspection results.
