You need to have the vin number on two places
of the vehicle. One does not get it. Numbers for the engine
are not required unless you are putting a newer engine in
then you are talking smog etc a different issue

The vin tag is usually riveted to the dash or the door jamb
The other is stamped to the frame or firewall
I have done two cars one out of state and the other out of
The system but both not having current and or Californa
registrations. Both required two vin numbers and inspections
Maybe if it is Currently registered in Washington it may be ok
