most likely just smog it depending on age. if its unmodified from stock you shouldnt have much of a problem. your local DMV and/or AAA should be able to help you with the paperwork in a jif.

you have to go to dmv, and from my understanding you have to get the car to chp to get it inspected as well. this was 4 yrs ago, i don't know about now

and yes if the car is stock it should be ok, modded, then it's more hectic

Go to the California DMV online, it will spell out everything you need to do.
