The NICB is a non-profit organization that helps combat insurance fraud. They offer a free service called VINCheck that allows you to search for a vehicle by its VIN. This search will return information about the vehicle, including its make, model, year, and reported stolen status.
2.) Use a commercial VIN search service.
There are several companies that offer VIN search services for a fee. These services typically provide more detailed information about a vehicle than the NICB's VINCheck, such as its ownership history, accident history, and maintenance records.
3.) Contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
The DMV may be able to provide you with information about a vehicle's title and registration status. However, the DMV may not be able to provide this information if the vehicle is not titled in your state.
4. Contact the vehicle manufacturer
The car manufacturer may be able to tell you if the car was sold with a particular VIN in a particular region or state.
