1Vehicle Identification Number Certification
Information
This form may be used by a Texas resident in lieu of a Vehicle Inspection Report (obtained from a Texas vehicle safety inspection
station) to self-certify a vehicle identification number when a vehicle is not subject to Texas safety inspection requirements
because the vehicle is exempt under state law, located out of state, or will not operate on Texas public roads.
A vehicle’s record will include a “VIN CERTIFICATION WAIVED” remark when this form is used in lieu of a Vehicle Inspection Report
or Form VTR-68-A (law enforcement VIN inspection form issued by the auto theft investigator completing the inspection). The
“VIN CERTIFICATION WAIVED” remark remains on the record until a new application for Texas title is submitted with a Vehicle
Inspection Report or Form VTR-68-A. Additionally, the vehicle’s record will include a “VERIFY INSPECTION” remark if the vehicle is
registered and subject to a Texas vehicle safety inspection, but is located out of state. This vehicle must obtain a passing vehicle
inspection upon entry into Texas, followed by a visit to the county tax assessor-collector’s office to remove the “VERIFY
INSPECTION” remark (a Vehicle Inspection Report is required if the inspection cannot be verified electronically).
Exemptions from Texas vehicle safety inspection are limited to (including vehicles currently meeting or registering as the following)
:
• trailers, semitrailers, pole trailers, or mobile homes with a current factory-delivery license plate or current in-transit license
plate;
• vehicles with a paper dealer in-transit tag, machinery license, disaster license, parade license, prorate tab, one-trip permit,
vehicle temporary transit permit, antique license, custom vehicle license, street rod license, temporary 24-hour permit, or
permit license;
• trailers, semitrailers, pole trailers, or mobile homes with an actual gross weight or registered gross weight of 4,500 pounds or
less;
• farm machinery, road-building equipment, a farm trailer, or a vehicle required to display a slow-moving-vehicle emblem;
• former military vehicles, as defined by Section 504.502;
• vehicles eligible for registration, but not registered; and
• vehicles that cannot be registered for on road use (off-highway use only).
Note: Attach a pencil tracing or photograph of the vehicle identification number to this form when possible.
