What to Do If the VIN Becomes Blurred?

[LaJuliana]

Over time, the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) may become worn or faded. If this happens, do not rush to repair it yourself. The VIN is a crucial feature for traffic authorities to clearly identify your vehicle, so it's essential to file a record with the vehicle management office before any repairs. Then, have it professionally re-engraved at a specialized repair shop. The VIN, also known as the VIN code, serves as the car's ID number and must not be altered. Here are the materials the applicant needs to provide to the vehicle management office: 1. "Motor Vehicle Change/Record Application Form." 2. Original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's ID card. 3. If appointing an agent to file the record, provide the original and photocopy of the agent's ID card and a letter of authorization from the vehicle owner. 4. Motor vehicle registration certificate. 5. Motor vehicle license. 6. Motor vehicle inspection record form.
