This example is based on my experience trying to title a vehicle that comprised of an old boyd with no VIN numbers on it, mounted to a custom-made frame with no VIN numbers on it. This is a work-in-progress, as I am in the middle of the procedure. As harrowing as dealing with the DMV can be, try to be patient - this particular request is not common in the State of Montana, as I have found out.

When the officer arrives, provide them with any paperwork you have or statements regarding the ownership of the vehicle. Basically, the officer is there to ensure that the vehicle you intend to title is indeed the same vehicle he is observing. Because your vehicle has no VIN, the officer should leave the VIN areas blank, but ''make a notation that the vehicle has no identifying numbers or markings on the frame or body.''

In about one to two week, you will receive a VIN number foil sticker in the mail. '''Do not apply this sticker yourself.''' Follow the instructions in the enclosed envelope to bring your vehicle to the nearest Driver's License Inspection Station in your area. I highly suggest calling to confirm the location of where you need to bring your vehicle. ''Be sure to speak with the inspector and familiarize him with your vehicle.'' Making an appointment wouldn't hurt either. If everyone is on the same page with what you are trying to do with your vehicle, the easier it will be to achieve your goal.
