Imprinting new vehicle identification number

Materials, tools
After replacing the body or the sheetmetal parts in the area of the vehicle identification number (firewall), the
original vehicle identification number must be reimprinted onto the new body or the new sheet metal part.
The documentation of the imprinted vehicle identification number in the vehicle supplementary document or
legally permissible treatment can be obtained from the importer of the respective country.
An incorrectly imprinted (stamped) vehicle identification number should be permanently crossed through with
a X so that it remains legible. The vehicle identification number to be newly imprinted should be imprinted
above the crossed through identification number.
