I believe that if the vin has been removed the DMV will want to re-tag the car. However many restorations require the vin to be removed, so they remove it and reinstall it with the correct rivets. Technically this could be an issue and possibly illegal. You will want to confirm that it is the correct vin tag for the car, and to make sure you’re not putting a clear vin tag on a stolen car. If that were the case it would be big trouble. I would also look into other areas of the vehicle that may have a vin stamp (possibly on chassis, somebody here will know this answer depending on what type of car) that way the vin can be cross referenced to the vehicle. If the chassis, or other part have the correct vin it will be easier to prove your tag is correct for the car.
