V.I.N Check:

The Central Falls Police Department has resumed performing VIN checks. Vin Checks are available Monday - Thursday 9:00 am to 2:00 p.m. 

If the title is from another state or the vehicle was registered in another state, and the model year of the vehicle is 2001 or newer, a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) check is required before you register the car. 

Please note that the title must be presented along with the vehicle at the time of the VIN check. If you own the vehicle, bring the original title. If there is a lien on the vehicle, bring a copy of the title.
