CHP vs. Licensed Vehicle Verifier: Which Should You Use?

The California Highway Patrol can perform VIN verifications, and it's required for certain situations like salvage or specially-constructed vehicles. However, CHP verifications are typically by appointment at a CHP office, and wait times for an appointment can be long.

A licensed vehicle verifier can handle standard registrations, out-of-state vehicles, trailers, RVs, motorcycles and fleets — and we come to you. For the vast majority of drivers, this is the faster, more convenient route.

Salvage, revived-junk, and specially constructed or kit vehicles generally require CHP. We focus on standard verifications and do not handle salvage or rebuilt titles — if that's your situation, CHP is the right path.

If you have a standard out-of-state or specialty vehicle, a mobile licensed verifier saves you the most time. Call us and we'll confirm whether your vehicle qualifies for our service.
