VIN Inspections

A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) inspection is a process in which a vehicle's VIN is verified to ensure that it matches the information provided by the vehicle's documents. VIN inspections are typically conducted by authorized agencies, such as law enforcement or Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) offices. The primary purpose of a VIN inspection is to prevent fraud, theft, and the illegal sale of vehicles.

Here are some common reasons why VIN inspections may be required:

• Title Issues: VIN inspections may be required if there are discrepancies or issues with the vehicle's title or if the VIN on the title does not match the VIN on the vehicle
• Out-of-State-Vehicles: When a vehicle is brought into a new state or country, authorities may require a VIN inspection to ensure the vehicle is not stolen and to verify its ownership.
• Vehicle History Concerns: In some cases, VIN inspections may be conducted to verify the accuracy of the vehicle's history and to prevent the sale of stolen or fraudulently titled vehicles.
• Salvage or Rebuilt Titles: If a vehicle has been salvaged or rebuilt after being declared a total loss by an insurance company, a VIN inspection may be required to verify the vehicle's roadworthiness and ensure it meets safety standards.
• Custom or Homemade Vehicles: Vehicles that have been custom-built or assembled at home may require a VIN inspection to ensure compliance with safety and emission standards.

During a VIN inspection, an authorized inspector will typically check various parts of the vehicle to confirm that the VIN on the vehicle matches the VIN on the documents. This may involve checking the VIN plate on the dashboard, the VIN on the door frame, and other locations where the VIN may be stamped or affixed.
