Guide to Posting Fees for Items in Suspense

Overview

Posting fees for items that are currently in suspense can be a complex process. This article outlines the necessary steps and considerations when handling such postings.

Using Z96 Misc Posting

To post fees for an item in suspense, you will need to utilize a Z96 Misc Posting. It is important to note that this process requires a paper submission; do not attempt to process it through e-file or enter it directly into the DMV record. Always adhere to any specific guidelines provided for completing your posting accurately.

Resolving Existing Suspense

Before proceeding with fee postings, ensure that all existing suspensions on the process are resolved. If you encounter issues, please provide the last six digits of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) so we can check the KSR and contact DMV for further assistance.

Citations and Responsibilities

When dealing with owner responsibility citation files in suspense directed towards RAS, it's crucial to understand that these must go through SPU (Special Processing Unit) for proper fee posting. The prior owner remains responsible for citations unless there is a LBO (Lienholder Buyout) situation; in such cases, all associated fees including citations must be paid.

KSR Considerations

If you're unable to locate information regarding KSR while checking its status due to suspension, it may indicate that the vehicle was initially registered in California but later returned as a Non-Resident. For confirmation on whether all requirements have been met, reach out directly to SPU at [email protected].

Post Fees Related to Trucks

For those looking specifically at posting fees related to trucks or parts thereof, this can generally be managed via the e-filing system under Vehicle Services. If your intention is renewal-related, utilizing online options tends to be more efficient than mailing checks. However, verify any specific instructions pertinent to your location with Sacramento’s appropriate department.

Error Handling During Fee Submission

In case of receiving an error during submission—do not panic! Simply click "Send Post Fees," and rest assured that your item will still be posted despite potential delays in visibility of processed fees.
