How to Resolve MISC Transaction Errors Related to Smog Certificates

If you are facing a MISC Transaction error concerning the smog certificate, it often indicates that there are discrepancies with the original certificate number or multiple records associated with it. This situation typically cannot be resolved in-house and requires further processing by specialized departments.

Understanding the Error

The MISC Transaction error usually means:

• The original smog certificate number is incorrect.
• There are multiple records on file for the vehicle.

Next Steps: Sending for Further Processing

In cases where you encounter this error, it's essential to escalate the issue rather than attempting to resolve it directly at the DMV. Follow these steps:

1. Document Details: Gather all relevant information regarding your transaction and smog certificate.
2. Contact SPU or Field Office: Send your documentation to either the State Processing Unit (SPU) or your local Field Office for assistance.
3. Avoid Direct Handling at DMV: Understand that due to complexities involved, resolving this matter may require specialized intervention outside of standard DMV procedures.

Troubleshooting Error Code 0212 In-House

If you're specifically looking to clear error code 0212 within your organization, follow these guidelines:

1. Identify Incorrect Transaction Type Code (TTC):
• This code often arises when a non-resident transfer has been incorrectly entered for a vehicle holding a California title.
2. Edit and Save Your Deal:
• You will need to save any changes made during this process before proceeding further. Ensure all details align correctly with existing records.
3. Review for Mistakes or Discrepancies:
   • An in-depth review can help identify any errors leading up to this issue; double-check all inputs against official documents related to ownership and title status.
