California DMV Registration Info
 
This was posted on another forum, and I felt it was too important to not share here as well. I don't think the OP (E435300_SMPV) posts here any more. In a discussion about "POLICE" being written on CA DMV titles, Ken brought up that he successfully contacted CA DMV to request the Vehicle Registration Information Record for his CHP Mustang. Here is a quote of the two posts (combined/shortened) that he made on ORG:

In the history it also gave the prior License plate number too. I wasn't sure what would be listed on the history since everything is confidential. The cost is only $5. Here is the link.

For $5. can't hurt.


As stated, the DMV information listed the original CHP license plate number for his car. As most CHP guys know, the last four digits of that original "E plate" is the CHP Unit Number for that vehicle. So if anyone owns a CHP but does not know their Unit Number, then contacting DMV in this manner may get them the info they need.

Thanks Ken for the info!

I'm looking at my DMV Vehicle Reg. Info...

The records of mine they gave me only go back to 2000. It does give me a LIC#: 4LIA171. And of course it gives me two names of previous owners; the guy whom I bought it from and the guy he bought it from. That info corresponds to my carfax. The unknown is still from when it was first shipped to whomever December 7, 1992 when the first title was issued to 2000. I also know it passed emissions testing February 21, 1994. But that is it.

UPDATE:

A while back I ponied up the $5 and sent off my check and completed form using the above link. About a month ago I received a letter from California DMV. You can imagine my excitement as I was opening the letter. Sadly, they returned my uncashed check and included a form letter that my request was not processed because I did not complete the correct form. Thankfully they included the correct form, which was identified as "REQUEST FOR VR/VESSEL RECORD INFORMATION".

In the form's instructions, it sounded as though they would only process my request if I met their requirement for having a legitimate reason. After reading over the choices they listed, I wrote that I was restoring a former CHP vehicle and I needed to ensure that the vehicle was never reported stolen.

So yesterday's mail bought me another envelope from California DMV, but this time they had processed my request and included the vehicle registration information for my car's time in California.

I blocked out the first part of my VIN, and I also removed the names of the previous owners (except the CHP of course). But I learned that I am the 8th owner of my car (I bought the car from the brother of the last name listed).

But of more importance, as Ken said in earlier posts, the records include my car's CHP unit number and its first license number. For those CHP-owning members here who do not know their CHP Unit Number, they may benefit from getting a copy of their vehicle registration record from the California DMV.

stadair, is the form I posted the same one you received for your car? It would be nice to solve the mystery of your car.
