VIN verification at our office or your location
A VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) verification confirms that your vehicle matches its official records. It is required by the DMV for certain transactions, especially when a vehicle is coming from out of state or has a title-related issue.

Registering an out-of-state vehicle?
VIN verification is one part of the California registration process. If you need registration too, use the dedicated intake so we can review the full transaction. Explore out-of-state registration →
Before your VIN verification visit
The vehicle must be present for verification. Start your request before visiting so we can review your situation and confirm the documents needed.
- Your vehicle and its VIN.
- Out-of-state title or registration, if applicable.
- Government-issued photo identification.
- Any DMV notice or other documents related to the transaction.
Tell us about missing documents, a branded or salvage title, or a DMV record discrepancy before arranging a visit. These situations need review before we confirm the available service.
Fees shown are CVP service fees. Any DMV fees, taxes, penalties, or other services are separate. We confirm the scope and total after reviewing your transaction. View the service fee schedule.
