The Positive Identification of the vehicle owner or proof of legal authority to access a vehicle has been outlined. The following are general requirements. (named after this portion of the terms and conditions when the form was physical). All VSP (Vehicle Security Professional) Account Holders must take the following steps prior to accessing the Information for a Vehicle Owner: 

​

1. Verify the identity of the Vehicle Owner. 

   • If the Vehicle Owner is an individual, this requires verifying the requesting individual's identity through a U.S or Canadian driver's license (no other form of identification is accepted. The only valid exception would be if the owner’s license had been stolen and the owner could prove the theft.  In this case, a passport or other government issued ID can be accepted). A picture of this proof of identity with the method of authorization confirmation (described in Attachment D items 2 and 3) shall be uploaded to the system.

   • If the Vehicle Owner is a lienholder or other corporate entity, this requires verifying the requesting individual's authority and identity through a driver's license and photographic proof that the individual is an employee of the Vehicle Owner (e.g. an employee ID card). This ID is not required to be photographed and uploaded.  

   • If the Vehicle Owner is a family member, spouse, caretaker or other designated by the authorized owner, this requires verifying the requesting individual's authority and identity through a driver's license and photographic or written proof that the individual is a designated person of the Vehicle Owner. This photographic or written proof as well  as the designation should be verified by the VSP having direct contact the authorized owner. 

2. Verify ownership of the vehicle. This requires verifying proof of title (or repossession title), vehicle registration, or similar documentation establishing clear ownership or authority to take possession of the vehicle. 

3. Verify that the ownership documentation matches the Vehicle Owner's identity and address (or last name and address if the requesting party is a family member of the registered owner). 

4. Verify that the vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle matches the vehicle identification number on the ownership documentation. 

5. Comply with all other applicable federal, state, and local regulations and/or statutes. 

6. Complete the appropriate electronic NASTF Customer Authorization (D1) form for the type of transaction you perform in the SDRM portal within 5 days of the automaker transaction.
