Getting A Licensed VIN Verification San Jose CA Requires

By Tanisha Berg


One of the things that California requires from all registered vehicles is a verified Vehicle Identification Number or VIN. Most of the time, if your car or truck as been registered in the state for a while, you do not have to worry about it. If you, however, are in one of a few classifications, you may need to have this number identified and verified. The way to do this is to have a licensed VIN verification San Jose DMV needs from you.

One of the reasons for needing this service is the bringing in of a vehicle from another state. This certainly has never been in the state before and does not exist, legally, yet. Another reason for getting this verification done is the combination of a new engine with a currently held frame or auto body. The combination of the engine number and VIN of the frame will represent a new vehicle.

An employee of the DMV, during normal business hours, can accomplish this for you. They are not the only ones to do this as many people have thought. There are other companies and individuals that are licensed to do this and there is where the best opportunities lie for getting it done quickly.

Many individuals will register with the state to be certified for this work. Some of them are people who deal with cars in other ways. Car dealers, auto mechanics and tow truck drives can become licensed for this work. Notaries and small business people may do this to increase their income levels.

Many of these individuals will come to you, either at home or work, to help you schedule your day easier. Others will accept drive ins at a location illustrated by the advertisement. Still others will want to set up appointments. You can still go into the DMV office and this may disrupt your schedule more than all of the others available for this.

It is easy to figure out whether you need to have this process and certification done. If you are registering your vehicle, at the DMV, and they tell you need it done, it is time. Calling one of the many people or organizations that do this can be done and a decision will present itself to you. Decide whether the best course of action is to drive there or to have them come to your home or office.

There are a few pieces of information you should have available when you, or they, show up. A photo identification card will be needed. The registration, current or expired will also need to be presented. This may be from the previous state or a bill of sale in the event of a missing registration. Any other paperwork that you have, such as certification of weight on a truck or trailer, should also be offered to the verifier. This will all be recorded on the state form Reg 31.

The dirtiest part of the task is the finding of the actual VIN on the vehicle. It may be on the dashboard and or in the trunk. It also could be under the vehicle, on the frame or in the driver side door jamb. Depending on the make, model and country of origin, it could be anywhere and it must be found. The condition of the plate it is on is also noted, especially if it has been altered in any way noticeable.
