A Licensed Vin Verifier San Francisco Provides A Fast And Friendly Service

By Annabelle Holman


The biggest problems with choosing to go to the California Department of Motor Vehicles, or CDMV, to get your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) verified are the long lines and the slow waiting times. The California Highway Patrol isn't any faster, where you have to sometimes wait weeks for the next appointment. The fast and friendly service of a licensed vin verifier San Francisco is a much better option.

The DMV might not have your vehicle registered in their database; this is more likely if it has remained unregistered for five or more years. In this case, or if your vehicle has recently entered the state of California, you will need to get the VIN verified.

A licensed VIN verifier in California can verify any type of vehicle, be it a car, motorcycle, truck, trailer, tractor, motor home, boat, all-terrain vehicle, or a custom. They will go to where you are in the city and county of San Francisco, and provide you with a completed DMV form REG 31 required for vehicle registration.

If a vehicle is not found in DMV's records, it will require a VIN verification. Similarly, if a vehicle is registered in another state and is being taken into California, or the wrong VIN is shown on the documentation, the VIN will need to be verified. With motorcycles, they require VIN verification if they hold a non-Californian state title.

In addition to the VIN, the verifier will need to see any existing documentation on your vehicle, including the title, registration, and the bill of sale. If it is a 1988 or later model, they will look for the Federal Certification Label, usually located on the left hand side door or frame. With 1976 or later models, there should be an EPA sticker under the hood or in the engine compartment.

New motorcycles or vehicles, and commercial vehicles not exceeding 8000 pounds of empty weight, don't require VIN verification. If the Federal Certification Label has been tampered with, does not exist, or is different to what is on the documents, then VIN verification can't be done. Similarly, incomplete, salvaged and junk titled vehicles are not verifiable, nor are motorcycles that have had alterations made to their engine, have no title or record, or possess foreign documentation.

Since it's not the verifier's job to know where the VIN is located, you will need to know where it is, and make sure that it is easily accessible and legible. If you have trouble finding it, you may seek the verifier's advice on where you should look; they are usually able to help you with older vehicles. Otherwise, an online search may provide you with a solution.

If you need to register your vehicle, it is nice to be able to get it done as quickly as possible; the affordable and friendly VIN verification service in San Francisco will come to you fast, so you won't have to wait around wasting valuable time and can get on with the more important things in life.
