VIN and Description
Record the full 17-character VIN, vehicle make, model, year, body type, color, and other identifiers; discrepancies must be explained and initialed by the verifier at time of inspection.
A properly completed Vehicle VIN Verification provides attributable, dated proof that the vehicle inspected matches documentation, which reduces title rejections, speeds registration, and lowers fraud and lien-dispute risk for buyers, lenders, insurers, and agencies.
People and organizations involved in vehicle transfers, registration, and inspection commonly complete or request VIN verifications.
Accurate verifications protect transaction parties, support title issuance, and provide auditable evidence useful for downstream filings and claims.

Specify where the VIN is located on the vehicle and how it was verified (visual inspection, barcode scan, manufacturer label, or VIN plate), and indicate any photographs taken.
List current title state and title number if available, note any recorded liens or security interests, and attach lien releases or supporting documents when pertinent.
