Why the VIN, isn't the vehicle already registered in your name?
Here the notice in the mail already includes your VIN, make, model, year
and colour of the vehicle.


They want the VIN to insure you are registering the correct vehicle in case
you have more than one. Also to verify that you still own the vehicle.
Believe it or not if you sell the vehicle the dealer or individual may not
register under his name until he needs a new sticker, if then. It is always
best to notify or verify that ownership has changed when you sell or trade a
vehicle.
