Vin Verifications by a Licensed DMV Vehicle Verifier

A vin verification is a physical inspection that the CA DMV requires when a vehicle is being Registered or Titled in California for the first time, or if the vehicle was titled in California before but there are no current records with DMV. The DMV may require a vin verification for other reasons as well and you can learn more by reading this whole page or ask us a question.

A Vin Verification is also called the "Verification of Vehicle" (Reg 31) and can only be completed by DMV authorized individuals.

Our California Licensed Vehicle Verifiers are mobile to Sacramento County, Placer County, Yolo County, and Solano County.

Only  a CA Licensed Vehicle Verifier, Auto Club Employee, Peace Officer,  The CA DMV, or CHP can perform a VIN Verification.  

Our California Licensed Vehicle Verifiers are mobile to the Greater Sacramento Area!  You don't even need to leave your house or office because  we will go to your location and verify the vehicle right where it is.  

If your vehicle has a revived salvaged title you must first go to the CA DMV to start the registration process. The CA DMV may refer you to the CHP for the SVIP (Salvaged Vehicle Inspection Program) for a VIN Verification.  

California Licensed Vehicle verifiers cannot verify incomplete or disassembled vehicles.

You will need at least 1 supporting document such as:

 a Title - Registration Card - US SF 97-1, or MSO/MCO. 

Vehicle Verifiers can only verify vehicles that have supporting documents.

The DMV considers the above options official supporting documents.  Without at least 1 - you will need to contact the DMV to see what your options are.  If your vehicle was built between 1970-2024 It MUST have the US Federal Certification Label affixed to the drivers side door jamb.

If you are financing, you should be able to obtain an e-mailed copy of the Title or MCO/MSO for the 'CA DMV VIN Verification'.

Just ask your finance company or automotive sales manager. 

Can't get that from them? Check your vehicle for a temporary dealer registration card or plate and make sure it has the VIN on it and expiration date. 

If you have purchased a vehicle that is registered or titled in a state other than California, then you will need to get your VIN verified to receive registration and/or title in California.  

Similarly, if you have recently moved to California and wish to register or title your vehicle, a VIN verification is required.  

We have California Licensed Vehicle Verifiers available who can travel to you if you are located in Sacramento, Placer, Yolo, or Solano County. 

If a vehicle was registered in California before but no longer appears in the DMV database you will need the VIN Verified.

The DMV will remove inactive registrations from their system after so many years of unpaid registration. 

Our California Licensed Vehicle Verifiers will travel to you in  Sacramento County, Placer County, Yolo County, and Solano County.

If you have submitted an application for title or registration to the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a third-party registration service, and you received a Registration Card or Certificate of Title that shows an incorrect VIN, you need to get the VIN verified to request a correction from DMV.
