TITLE VIN PLATE AND CERTIFICATION LABEL REPLACEMENT


Replacement VIN plates (riveted to dashboard) and Certification Regulation labels (affixed to driver's door or door post) are available from TMC providing the request meets one of the following criteria:

- The original plate or label is incorrect. (An incorrect Certification Regulation plate or label must accompany the request, an incorrect VIN plate must be returned after receipt of the new one).

- The vehicle is in an accident and the plate or label is damaged or is attached to a part that will be replaced during the repair. (The plate or label to be replaced must accompany the request.)

- The plate or label are stolen. (Be sure to contact the State Police first, in some cases they will issue you a unique number so that the original one can be included on stolen vehicle listings). When requesting a new plate or label to replace a stolen one, it is necessary to include a copy of the police or insurance company report.


Prior to 1989 model year the certification regulation plate was aluminum, for 1989 model and later production this plate has been replaced with a vinyl label. Aluminum Certification Regulation plates are no longer available as replacements. If one is requested, a vinyl label containing information from this plate combined with information from the manufacturer's plate (mounted on the engine compartment side of the dash panel) will be supplied instead.
