VIN Verification Services

What is VIN Verification?

VIN Verification is the process of physically inspecting and confirming a vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and current odometer reading.

This process is commonly required by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) when:

• A vehicle is being brought into Florida from another state
• A vehicle has never previously been titled in Florida
• Ownership or registration information must be confirmed

VIN Verification helps ensure the vehicle information is accurate before titling, registration, or ownership transfer.

Who can perform a VIN Verification in Florida?

Florida VIN Verifications may be completed by authorized individuals such as:

• Florida Notary Publics
• Law Enforcement Officers
• Licensed Automobile Dealers
• Florida DMV Employees

B. Elise Notary Services LLC is authorized as a commissioned Florida Notary Public to complete official VIN Verifications.

Is VIN Verification available online or virtually?

No.

VIN Verification must be completed in person because Florida law requires a physical inspection of:

• The vehicle’s VIN plate
• The current odometer reading

VIN Verifications cannot be completed through Remote Online Notarization (RON) or virtual appointments.
