Have you ever not been able to make out the VIN on a tow ticket? Or maybe the VIN wasn’t on the tow ticket at all?

Qualified ADD users are able to select the Plate to VIN inquiry from the DMV123 state drop-down menu, and enter the license plate number. Within seconds, you’ll see the vehicle’s year, make, model, and VIN!

From the returned VIN, you can easily access the DMV123 title record and complete your lien notification process.

The Plate to VIN query will save you time and streamline your process. Simply select “Plate to VIN” located at the bottom of the DMV123 drop-down menu.
