Default Re: 1934 Ford VIN Location & FL Title Question

You can also have anyone with a NOTARY STAMP verify the number on the form. Having a police officer might take excessive time.


What should I know about VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) Verification?

When applying for a title on a motor vehicle previously registered or titled in another state, the VIN on the actual motor vehicle must be checked to ensure that the vehicle is the same as the one described on the proof of ownership.

The VIN must be physically inspected by one of the following:

A law enforcement officer from any state.
A licensed Florida or out of state motor vehicle dealer.
A county tax collector employee or Division of Motor Vehicle Compliance Examiner.
Provost Marshal or commissioned officer in active military service, with a rank of 2nd lieutenant or higher.
Form HSMV 82042, Part A may be completed and signed. The form is also available at your local tax collector's office.



PART B – VERIFICATION OF THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
This section requires a physical inspection and a verification of the vehicle identification number (VIN) (or the motor
number for motor vehicles manufactured prior to 1955) of the motor vehicle described on this form by a Licensed Dealer,
Florida Notary Public, Police Officer, or Florida Division of Motorist Services Employee or Tax Collector Employee. If an outof-state motor vehicle dealer verifies the VIN, the verification must be submitted on their letterhead stationery. Complete
this section on all used motor vehicles, including trailers, (with abbreviation of “TL” with a weight of 2,000 pounds or more)
not currently titled in Florida.
