How to Correct a VIN After eFiling

If you find yourself needing to correct the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) after eFiling, and the document can no longer be edited, there are several options available for you. This guide outlines the steps you can take to ensure your VIN is corrected properly.

Options for Correcting Your VIN

1. Submit Corrected VIN Paperwork

You have the option of submitting corrected VIN paperwork directly to either:

• The Special Processing Unit (SPU)
• Your Local Field Office

This method allows for official processing of your correction request and ensures that all records are updated accordingly.

2. Use Record Statement (RS)

If you prefer not to submit new paperwork or if immediate action is required, you may opt to use a Record Statement (RS) with the incorrect VIN. Please note that this approach will necessitate manual processing, which could result in delays compared to submitting corrected documents directly.

3. Create a Work Order

An alternative method involves creating a Work Order. You can submit this via email specifically requesting fee posting related issues connected with your incorrect VIN entry.

Steps for Submitting Corrections

1. Select Your Preferred Method: Choose between submitting corrected paperwork, using an RS, or creating a Work Order based on your needs.
2. Gather Required Information: Ensure that all necessary details regarding both the incorrect and correct VINs are prepared before submission.
3. Email Submission: If opting for a Work Order or any correspondence through email, make sure it’s sent to the appropriate department with clear subject lines indicating its purpose.
4. Acknowledge Confirmation: Once submitted, keep track of any confirmation received from SPU or local offices regarding your request status.

Troubleshooting Tips

• If you're unsure about where to send your corrections, contact customer service at your local office for guidance.
• Keenly monitor timelines as manual processes might take longer
