The vehicle identification number is a unique identification number for a vehicle, and it is illegal for individuals to change it arbitrarily. The Automobile Management Act strictly stipulates that changes to the vehicle identification number are not permitted by anyone other than the automobile manufacturer, and violation of this may result in severe legal sanctions. A prison sentence of up to one year or a fine of up to 3 million won may be imposed, and counterfeiting vehicle identification numbers is considered a criminal offense primarily related to the resale of stolen or accident vehicles.
