Referencing Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or Hull Identification Number (HIN).
VIN verifications are currently waived except for salvage vehicles, foreign titles, or vehicles requiring temporary registration.
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is the identifying code for a specific automobile. A VIN is composed of 17 characters (digits and capital letters) that act as a unique identifier for the vehicle. A VIN displays the car's unique features, specifications, and manufacturer. Prior to 1981, VINs varied in length from 11 to 17 characters.
The Hull Identification Number (HIN) is a 12 or 14 character serial number that uniquely identifies a motorboat or vessel.
