I think you're correct on B&L, but you may as well get that (and any fixes) taken care of while you're waiting for appointments etc.  |
They enter a placeholder VIN in the DMV before you have a verified VIN. In many cases, people have gotten their SB100 sequence number using the placeholder VIN (or TIN).
Rodneym got his SB100 number today without visiting the CHP and/or having a verified VIN.
Just goes to show that the DMV doesn't have a consistent repeatable process in place for SB100 applications.
