PHYSICAL VIN CAPTURE · PROTOTYPE
Photograph it. Read it. Compare it.
Use the phone camera to capture the visible VIN area. The production OCR step will propose characters for the buyer to confirm before UKVIN compares them with the expected vehicle-record VIN.

Image capture is not an authenticity test. UKVIN compares readable characters and records evidence; it does not certify a plate or label as genuine from appearance alone.ENTER / CONFIRM 17 CHARACTERS
UKVIN should always retain the original image, OCR proposal and buyer-confirmed text as separate evidence fields.
