What Is A VIN Verification?
A VIN verification is a required inspection where a licensed verifier checks your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to ensure it matches official documents such as the title or registration.
In California, this process is completed using REG 31 (Verification of Vehicle) and is required in many situations where the DMV needs to confirm the vehicle’s identity.
The VIN is typically located on:
Dashboard (driver side)
Door jamb
Engine compartment
Frame (for trailers or commercial vehicles)
This inspection helps prevent:
Fraud
Title errors
Incorrect registrations
You may need a VIN verification in California if:
✔ You are registering an out-of-state vehicle
✔ Your vehicle has never been registered in California
✔ You lost your title and need a replacement
✔ There is a VIN mismatch or correction needed
✔ You are registering a trailer or commercial vehicle
✔ The DMV specifically requested it
