Good advice. I think it shouldn't be a problem.

I don't  have good knowledge of CA registration practices but I think
it's pretty  common now for insurance companies to quote straight off a
VIN, since they  can pull all the necessary details of the car from the
DMV registry  database. Our insurer did it when my wife bought a 2006
Subaru this spring  - they instantly knew everything about the car
including the color. I'm not  sure how closely the various state agencies
might interchange  information.

I would think that if you're the one that has the official  state issued
registration documents there shouldn't be much question about  who really
owns the car - they could try to forge a registration doc and  then try
to transfer it to themselves but that wouldn't hold up under  scrutiny.

Anyone can read the vin of your car from the base of the  windshield,
too... And since they're right there, they can also get the  license
plate number and the numbers off your current registration sticker.  I
think you'd be in much more danger of someone trying to clone  a
registration when you park your car a the local mall, than from some  guy
in  Colorado.
