This guide explains how Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) are added to the VIN database, which is managed by the National Exchange of Vehicle and Driver Information System (NEVDIS) on the department’s behalf.

The guide is designed to assist new entrants to the Australian vehicle market, including approval holders for trailers with an aggregate trailer mass (ATM) of 4.5 tonnes or less (low ATM trailers) when they are providing VINs to NEVDIS.

It describes:
