Florida notaries: are you completing **HSMV Form 82042 VIN Verification** correctly?
In this quick tutorial, I show you the section Florida notaries need to complete, where to print your commissioned name, where to sign, where the notary seal goes, and one of the most common mistakes I see when VIN verifications are returned to us.
Florida VIN verification requires a **physical inspection of the vehicle**, including verification of the VIN information before completing Part B of the form.
# # # Quick Notary Checklist:
✓ Physically inspect the vehicle
✓ Verify the VIN
✓ Confirm the vehicle information
✓ Complete Part B
✓ Enter the date
✓ Print/type/stamp your commissioned name in the designated name field
✓ Sign in the Notary’s Signature field
✓ Place your notary seal in the designated seal area
And remember: the odometer declaration in Part A is completed by the appropriate vehicle owner/purchaser—not simply substituted by the notary completing Part B.
