The Ohio BMV 3713 form, formally titled "Application for Duplicate Motor Vehicle Identification Number," serves vehicle owners and insurers who need a replacement VIN plate. The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles issues this document under the authority of Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) Section 4501:1-11-01.
This form applies to anyone whose vehicle VIN plate has been compromised. Common situations include theft or unauthorized removal by another person, collision or other casualty damage not caused by the owner, and ordinary wear and tear over time. Both individual vehicle owners and insurance companies acting on behalf of a policyholder may submit the application.
Applicants must provide the vehicle's make, model, year, and original VIN along with their contact details. The completed form must be accompanied by the original Certificate of Title. A law enforcement inspection of the vehicle is also required before the Ohio BMV processes the request. Applicants can choose to receive a duplicate VIN plate directly from the vehicle manufacturer or request a state-produced Ohio VIN plate.
If you are handling other Ohio vehicle paperwork, you may also need the Ohio BMV application for general registration, the BMV 4526 form for title-related matters, or the BMV 1173 form for additional motor vehicle services. You can also find the application for duplicate certificate of title if your title document is lost or damaged.
