Here is the situation I live in California but my car is in Minnesota to renew the registration I need a smog check my question is can I get a temporary permit without the smog permit so I can bring the car to California and have the smog check done then? Any one familiar with DMV of California out there?

Yes, DMV will provide a temporary permit to allow you time to get your vehicle smogged.

Be sure to mail in the registration fee on time, because the late fees stack up fast.
Pay, and you'll be in a state of "Paid but not smogged". There are no additional fees, but obviously they won't send you the tags until you pass smog.
California itself seems to be pretty mellow about expired tags, especially if they see the registration is paid but not smogged. You'll get a "fix-it" ticket that'll cost $10 to clear once you show a cop you have current tags.
I can't promise other states would be the same way. Some Eastern states they'll impound the car on the spot.

No, there's no such thing as temporary smog permit. You get the car to CA, you have it smog tested, you take the results to the DMV (assuming you passed) and you register your car. If you fail the smog test you will be provided with info on what needs to be repaired...have it repaired, resmogged, and then register the car. BTW...people drive cars in CA daily that are registered out of state.

If a smog certification is required and you have not had a smog inspection, you may still pay your registration fees to avoid any late fees. However, you will not receive your new registration or year sticker until the smog information has been received by DMV.
That is per http://www.dmv.ca.gov/online/vrir/faqsmog.htm

You can send in your payment, and get the paperwork that shows you paid, but they won't give you new stickers without the smog.
I'm assuming that someone here in CA is driving it. They should just take it in for a smog...most of the mechanics can send the smog report electronically to the DMV, and this along with your payment would trigger them to send the stickers in the mail.
If no one is driving it, you can file for non-op status, which will allow it to be parked on the streets without getting any tickets.

be useful to mail contained in the registration fee on time, utilising truth the previous due expenditures stack up straight away. Pay, and also you would possibly want to be in a state of "Paid yet no longer smogged". There are literally not any further expenditures, yet for sure they received't provide you the tags until eventually ultimately you bypass smog. California itself looks highly mellow about expired tags, quite in the experience that they see the registration is paid yet no longer smogged. you receives a "fix-it" fee tag that'll fee $10 to sparkling as straight away as you practice a cop you've modern-day tags. i will't be able to vow diverse states may properly be the similar way. some jap states they are going to impound the motorized vehicle instantaneous.

Schedule an appoint with DMV and ask for a trip permit to enter Calif. with your veh. so you can get a smog permit.
