California Fuel Trip (CFT) permits allow out-of-state registered owners to enter and travel into California for four consecutive days without obtaining a license for fuel tax purposes. This permit also allows California registered carriers to reenter California after traveling out of state if they are unlicensed for fuel tax purposes. The CFT must be obtained and completed prior to entering the state.
CFT(s) may be purchased through the following agencies and companies:
Board of Equalization (BOE)
You may purchase CFT(s) from the BOE through the mail or in person at the Sacramento Headquarters building.
