Vehicle Registration With No Engine Number by stanlotion(op): 6:05am On Dec 17, 2016
Please I want the house to help me out on this : I had my vehicle registration paperwork done by my cousin and I just noticed that the position for engine number is vacant. They didn't write anything. I called his attention to it and he told me that the number on the engine was not clear that's why it was left like that instead writing a figure they are not sure of and make the police use it against me later. Now my question is : what implication does this have? It is a '99 camry.

Engine number is not necessary, I've own 2 cars in the past where *NIL* was written in the space for engine number. What really matters is the VIN number except the police are just looking for trouble.

You shouldn't worry abt it. Its better to write Nil or Do than a wrong engine number, since it was not clear. In any case, if u find out the engine no later or u change to another engine that has number, pls do well to effect it on d documents.

Some vehicle has no engine number even....
I think if you cannot see it, police will not be able to see it as well........
