regarding VIN verifications

VIN Verification is a mandatory physical inspection of a car, motorcycle, trailer, truck or off-highway vehicle. This verification is to prevent theft and fraud. This is a requirement for registering vehicles in California.

This is the emission identification number for each car, motorcycle, truck, and off-highway vehicle. According to section #9 of the REG 31 form, all vehicles from 1968 and newer model years, motorcycles from 1978 and newer model years, heavy-duty vehicles from 1979 and newer model years, and off-highway vehicles from 2003 and newer model years must undergo verification with the VIN inspection.

The name of the form is REG31 form. This form can only be filled out by a VIN inspector, CHP, and DMV employees.
