What is a licensed vehicle verifier and what do they do? What does it take to be one?

Status: DMV Authorized

LVVs are licensed to perform the crucial physical inspection (Verification of Vehicle, REG 31) for state registration and ownership transfer.

Core Duties & Inspection Checklist

CORE DUTY: Verification of Vehicle (REG 31)

The LVV's primary function is to complete and sign the Verification of Vehicle (REG 31) form. This form cannot be completed by the vehicle owner.

INSPECTION CHECKLIST (Data Points)

LVVs must physically examine and record key data points including:

  • VIN
  • Fed Cert Label (ID-A/B)
  • Emissions Label (ID-C)
  • Odometer & Body Type

RESTRICTIONS: Non-Verifiable Units

VIN Tampering or Salvaged Status

LVVs cannot verify Salvaged or Junked Vehicles, vehicles with evidence of VIN Tampering/Alteration, or Revived Salvage/Specially Constructed (SPCNS) Vehicles.

LICENSING & COMPLIANCE

  1. State Licensure Requirements Requires a background check via Live Scan fingerprinting, securing a mandatory $5,000 Surety Bond, and submitting an application to the DMV.
  2. Local Business Compliance Must adhere to local business laws and may need to secure local permits/licenses from each city or county of operation. This is something the DMV does not tell you. Contact each city and county you plan on providing services in to verify local requirements.
