VIN plate issue

What should I do if my car does not have a VIN plate?

  • If you have not bought it yet, either don't buy it or if you really want it ensure you are buying it from the rightful owner. It might cause a headache so buyer beware

  • You can use ECSVIN.comarrow-up-right to purchase a new VIN plate or work with your local dealer to get one

How do I add it to Schedule B without the VIN plate?

Assuming your P&D manager is willing to play ball then it's a simple step:

  1. Take a picture of the proof of OEM VIN on the physical motor of the vehicle

  2. Decode the VIN thru the National Highway Traffic Safetyarrow-up-right Administration website

  3. Use the highest GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) on the result and provide the printout to your P&D manager.

Note: This is doable across the country but its dependent on you having a good relationship with your station management team so they'd want to help you out.
