Get Your Vehicle Registered Faster With A Licensed Vin Verifier San Francisco

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.

If your vehicle has just been brought into California, or there is no record of it with the DMV, it must be verified. If your vehicle has been left unregistered for five years or more, then it probably won't be on record.

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.

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.

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.
