LEVEL I INSPECTIONS

A Level I vehicle verification inspection ensures that the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is consistent with the vehicle in the owner’s possession. It also establishes an identity for a vehicle that is without title and/or registration.
A Level I Inspection consists of matching the public VIN and the Federal VIN (Federal Sticker or U.S. Certification label) and verifying that the vehicle inspected is the same vehicle identified on the title and/or registration, if needed.
A Level I Inspection is required when:

no ownership documentation for the vehicle is presented.
titling and/or registering and renewing a cab and chassis.
the customer is filing a title complaint. (Dealer failed to get customer the title)
the vehicle will be repaired, rebuilt, reconstructed, and/or dismantled and the owner requests a “Title Only”.
