Finding/Updating a Vehicle

You can find a vehicle record to view or update it, independent of a title or registration transaction. When you update a vehicle record, the updated information is reflected in any windows that display this information.

Tip: Some vehicles, such as small trailers and small semi-trailers, do not require a VIN. When a vehicle does not have a VIN, NOVIN appears on the vehicle record where the VIN would otherwise appear. To search for a vehicle that does not have a VIN, you must search using an alternate identification number, such as the plate number. You can also search for the customer and include the vehicles that the customer is associated with in the search results. For more information, see Search window.
