VEHICLE VERIFICATIONS

DMV may require a physical inspection of a vehicle (verification of vehicle) prior to completing a vehicle registration application.

A verification of vehicle is always required for:

-Registration of a vehicle last registered out of state.
-Reregistration of a previous “junk” or “salvage” vehicle, unless the application contains a CHP Certificate of Inspection (CHP 97C) form.
-Registration of a specially constructed (SPCNS) motor vehicle or trailer.
-A vehicle for which DMV does not have a record, except a new vehicle reported sold by a licensed California dealer on an Application for Registration of a New Vehicle (REG 397) form.
-Recording an engine change, motorcycle engine case change, or change from engine number to vehicle identification number (VIN).
-Assignment of an identifying VIN number by DMV.
-When the VIN shown on certificates is different from the VIN shown on record (including vehicles being junked).

A verification of vehicle is required for a vehicle that does not meet California emission standards.

RGS Motors cannot do VIN inspections for revived salvage, revived junk, SPCNS vehicles, or motorcycles with an unavailable California record (last registered in California but a record no longer appears on the DMV database).
