Why verification matters

A replacement key or programmed credential can provide access to and control of a vehicle. Authorization checks help protect owners and legitimate customers.

What may be requested

Depending on the job, a valid photo ID, registration, title, rental or fleet documentation, dealer authorization or other proof can be relevant.

Commercial requests

Dealerships, rental companies, repair facilities, auctions and fleets should be prepared to identify an authorized contact and the units requiring service.
