After the buyer of the trailer has met all the requirements, a new VIN may be assigned according to the following:
Inspection of trailers that require a VIN assignment are performed at a DMV safety inspection location.
The newly assigned VIN will be a trailer VIN specifically used for homemade trailers.
The assigned VIN will be installed on the tongue portion of the frame by an inspector. If the tongue of the trailer is of the 'V' or 'Y' shape, the VIN sticker will be installed on the left half. The inspector may tell the new owner of the trailer that they may have the new VIN metal stamped in an area adjacent to the VIN sticker.
