VIN Verification Frequently Asked Questions

All the essential information
regarding VIN verifications

VIN Verification is a mandatory physical inspection of a car, motorcycle, trailer, truck or off-highway vehicle. This verification is to prevent theft and fraud. This is a requirement for registering vehicles in California.

This is the emission identification number for each car, motorcycle, truck, and off-highway vehicle. According to section #9 of the REG 31 form, all vehicles from 1968 and newer model years, motorcycles from 1978 and newer model years, heavy-duty vehicles from 1979 and newer model years, and off-highway vehicles from 2003 and newer model years must undergo verification with the VIN inspection.

The name of the form is REG31 form. This form can only be filled out by a VIN inspector, CHP, and DMV employees.

  • Licensed VIN inspector or VIN Verifier 

  • DMV employees

  • (CHP) California Highway Patrol officers

California and other states require VIN verification and emission label verification (if the vehicle has an engine) before the registration process. The following are required:

  • To register an out-of-state vehicle, truck, trailer, motorcycle, and OHVs.

  • To register a brand new vehicle, truck, trailer, motorcycle, and OHVs even if is bought in California

  • You need to verify a lien sale of a vehicle, truck, trailer, motorcycle, and OHVs

  • You are changing the fuel type.

  • You need to re-register a junked or vehicle, truck, trailer, motorcycle, and OHVs

 
 
 
 

The verification performed by the DMV or CHP is free, but the waiting time at the DMV can be unpleasant. A private VIN inspector will charge you a fee for this VIN verification service, and the process can take from 15 to 30 minutes per vehicle. This service can be conducted either on location or at an individual’s location. DMV employees do not travel to your location, but a private VIN Verifier will if they are willing to travel.

A VIN inspector can verify approved out-of-state vehicles, trucks, trailers, motorcycles, OHVs, ATVs, and brand-new vehicles. However, a VIN inspector cannot verify salvage, junked, or foreign vehicles, trucks, trailers, motorcycles, OHVs, ATVs, or brand-new vehicles.

A DMV employee can verify approved out-of-state vehicles, trucks, trailers, motorcycles, OHVs, ATVs, and brand-new vehicles. They can also verify salvage or junked vehicles, but there are certain salvage and revived junked vehicles they do not handle.

A CHP officer focused only on salvage, junked, and complicated vehicles, trucks, trailers, motorcycles, OHVs, ATVs, cases like:

1- Rebuilding Engines

2- Foreign vehicles 

3- Armored vehicles, 

4- Motorcycle with no DMV record

5- Motorcycle with no supporting documents

6- Motorcycle that needs an engine change

 

…etc

 

They accept phone appointments but walking appointments is the best option. They do not travel unless it is a special circumstance.
