At Felling Trailers, we often get requests from a Dealer or Enduser for a duplicate or replacement MSO (Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin) so that a trailer can be licensed. We also get requests for replacement VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) tags when one has been damaged, lost, or has faded too much over time and can not be read anymore.
Outlined below are the procedures for obtaining a replacement VIN or MSO, as well as the required information Felling Trailers needs from the dealer or end user to complete the request.
NOTE: Felling Trailers is unable to modify the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). We recommend contacting your local vehicle licensing authority to explore available options.
NOTE: Felling Trailers can only assist with trailers we have manufactured. For all other brands, please contact the original manufacturer directly.
