Serial number
The vehicle identification number is indicated on the right body mounting bracket.
This begins and ends with the three-pointed star (trademark) and covers 19 impacted characters with a total length of 104.5 mm.
If the body or the right body console has been repaired, stamp in vehicle identification number into the body console at the same point.
This involves a change to the vehicle which is subject to compulsory notification. In the Federal Republic of Germany immediately inform the vehicle licensing agency in writing.
The vehicle holder is required to complete a certificate for the vehicle licensing agency which indicates that the vehicle identification number has been re-stamped after completing body repairs.
As proof, the original vehicle identification number cut out of the old part may also be enclosed.
A vehicle identification number which has been incorrectly or incompletely stamped by the workshop must be crossed through and the correct number stamped in the spare field of the right body mounting bracket.
This procedure should be noted in the certificate for the vehicle licensing agency as follows:
"The incorrectly or incompletely stamped vehicle identification number was crossed through and the correct vehicle identification number stamped in the spare field of the right body mounting bracket."
Export countries must observe their relevant vehicle licensing provisions and legal requirements.
