The chief executive may require a vehicle for which a registration application has been made to be brought to the chief executive for an inspection— before the vehicle is registered; or if the vehicle is recorded in the register as a repairable write-off—before the chief executive changes the register so the vehicle is no longer recorded as a repairable write-off. Subsection (3) applies if, when the chief executive inspects the vehicle— an identifying number placed on the vehicle by the vehicle’s manufacturer— is not clearly legible; or appears to have been altered or defaced; or if the vehicle is recorded in the register as a repairable write-off that has been repaired—the vehicle no longer has an identifying number. The chief executive may give a replacement identifying number for the vehicle. If the chief executive gives a replacement identifying number for a motor vehicle under subsection (3) and a permission mentioned in section 134 (b) (ii) of the Act is given by the commissioner for the number, the applicant must ensure the number is placed on the vehicle. Maximum penalty—8 penalty units. The applicant must comply with subsection (4) even if the applicant does not intend to register the vehicle.
