Went to the DMV to register and pay sales tax and was told they could not take my money (or register the car) because there was no proof that the car complied with CA emissions standards. They could not locate an emissions compliance sticker.

The clerk at the desk couldn't, or the DMV verifier that actually looked at the car couldn't?

Crucial consideration #1: the clerk at the desk doesn't necessarily know anything about your car, doesn't want to, they're looking for box A on form B to be filled in with a "Y" or an "N" and that's all.

Crucial consideration #2: the verifier doesn't necessarily know your car, s/he probably hasn't seen one before, you want to know where the VIN plate is and where the emissions-compliance sticker is before you ever go near the DMV, do not count on them to be able to find it.
