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

By Annabelle Holman





VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) verification is normally required by the CDMV (California Department of Motor Vehicles) when you register your vehicle. The CDMV can get this done for you, but it often involves a long wait as the queues are long. California Highway Patrol (CHP) can also verify your VIN, but again the process can sometimes takes weeks as you wait for an appointment. You can save a lot of time by utilizing the services of a licensed vin verifier San Francisco.



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.



There are specific circumstances when you need VIN verification to register your vehicle; namely, if it is no longer in the DMV database, it is registered in a state other than California and is being brought into the state, your motorcycle has an out of state title, or your vehicle documentation shows a wrong VIN.



Have all accompanying paperwork ready to show the verifier; this might include the vehicle title, registration records, and the sale contract. For vehicles made in 1988 or later, the verifier will need to see a Federal Certification Label, which can be found on the door or frame on the left hand side, and for vehicles dated from 1976 onwards, the verifier will search under the hood or somewhere in the engine compartment for an EPA sticker.



In some cases, VIN verification won't apply. Any new vehicle or motorbike, or a commercial vehicle that weighs less than approximately 4 ton when empty, doesn't need to have its VIN verified. There are circumstances when the VIN can't be verified, such as if a vehicle's Federal Certification Label has been altered, is absent, or is different from the records. Additionally, junk titled and salvage vehicles, as well as incomplete vehicles, can't be verified. Motorcycles without a title or record, with engine alterations, or with overseas documents also cannot be verified.



It is your responsibility to know where your vehicle's VIN is located, and that it can be read clearly. This is not the responsibility of the verifier, although they may be able to give you ideas on where to find the VIN if you are unsure; usually this isn't a problem for older vehicles, but if they can't help you, try searching for the answer online.



A fast, friendly and affordable VIN verification service will save you a lot of time and money when you need your vehicle registered. Having a licensed VIN verifier in San Francisco do the verifying for you means that you'll never have to waste valuable time in long lines, or wait weeks for an appointment.
