Where is the Vehicle Certificate Number Located?
2 Answers
Vehicle certificate number is located at the upper right corner of the first page of the motor vehicle registration certificate, consisting of 17 digits. Details are as follows: 1. Motor vehicle registration certificate is issued together with the vehicle license when registering the vehicle: It contains detailed information about the owner and various parameters of the vehicle. The registration certificate is mainly used for mortgage, transfer, and ownership change. 2. Vehicle certificate number: For unregistered vehicles, the certificate should be held by the dealer. For registered vehicles, the certificate is stored in the vehicle management office archives. 3. Vehicle certificate is attached with the vehicle upon leaving the factory: It needs to be submitted to the vehicle management office for archiving when registering the vehicle license, and the motor vehicle registration certificate will be reissued.
On the day I picked up the car, the salesperson handed me a whole bag of documents, including a blue vehicle certificate of conformity. The 17-character code, resembling an ID number, was printed at the very top. I almost missed it, only later realizing this document could be used to check the vehicle's production details and would be collected by the DMV during registration. It's crucial to get this done before the temporary license plate expires, or else you'll be in trouble if the police check. At the time, I took a photo of the code and saved it in the cloud, also jotting it down on the first page of the manual. I'd advise new car owners to immediately verify if the VIN on the invoice matches the one on the car to avoid any switcheroo. If you lose the certificate, you'll have to go through the hassle of getting it reissued by the dealer—definitely a pain—so make sure to lock it in a file cabinet and not keep it with the annual inspection sticker.
