UVM Police Services can help with VIN verification forms!
A VIN verification form is a document the Vermont DMV requires in certain situations to confirm a vehicle's identity. The form is used to physically inspect the vehicle and verify that the vehicle identification number (VIN) is as stated, shows no sign of alteration, and that the vehicle has not been reported stolen. The owner completes Section 1 (owner and vehicle information) before arriving. Section 2 must be completed by Vermont law enforcement or the Vermont DMV. UVM Police Services officers are authorized to complete VIN verifications at our campus department located at 12 Centennial Woods Way, lower level. No appointment is necessary; walk-ins are welcome.
Please Note: Because we are an emergency response department, officer availability may vary depending on call volume, so there may be a short wait.
Reasons a VIN Verification May Be Required:
The vehicle has a salvage title or salvage documentation from any state
The vehicle is being titled under bond
The vehicle is registered in a foreign country, including Canada
A vehicle does not need a VIN verification solely because it was previously registered in another state.
