What is a VIN inspection and how do I get it done?

Questions Answered

A VIN inspection is when someone visually verifies that the vehicle VIN has not been modified or tampered with. This inspection can be done by any police officer or DMV in ANY state. The vehicle DOES NOT have to be in operating condition. In most states, the police will come to you to verify the VIN if you call them. This IS NOT an equipment inspection.


We will provide an already pre-filled form that you will just need to get completed by the VIN verifier. Make sure you obtain a business card from whoever does the inspection.


Depending on your state, you can simply call your local police department and have them come out to your location to inspect the VIN. In some states like CA there are traveling VIN verifiers in the state that can come to you.
