Tarifas para la identificación de vehículos en Virginia

Explicación Simple

Si tienes un vehículo y su número de identificación ya no se puede leer, debes pedir uno nuevo al gobierno. Te cobrarán una tarifa por esto y, si todo está bien, te darán un nuevo número.

Es como cuando pierdes la etiqueta con el nombre de tu ropa favorita. Tienes que pedir una nueva etiqueta para que todos sepan que es tuya.
