is VIN engraved somewhere in the car?

Hello

I imported a car to Europe, and for homologation I must have the VIN engraved somewhere in the car... not the small piece of metal in the door... i must be really engraved...

If anyone knows, thanks for the answers

Thanks

I dont know how it is in other countries but it could be different from US. There are some laws or guidelines that are different.

Just have it etched somewhere in the trunk, on the body itself. Or underneath the carpet, or roof liner.
