The Vehicle Identification Number Certification Form serves as a means for Texas residents to self-certify their vehicle identification number (VIN) when their vehicle is not subject to Texas safety inspection requirements. This form helps update the vehicle's record with a 'VIN CERTIFICATION WAIVED' remark and removes the 'VERIFY INSPECTION' remark for vehicles located out of state. It is an essential document for maintaining accurate records for vehicles exempt from inspections under state law. By using this form, owners can ensure their vehicle's status is accurately reflected in the Texas DMV records, which is crucial for legal and administrative purposes. This form is particularly useful for owners of vehicles that are exempt from state inspection requirements, located out of state, or intended for off-road use only.
