Not sure about TN but I would be willing to bet the following applies. Do not go to highway patrol or DMV for vin until your positive what they need. Even if you get reassigned a new vin#, you will have to have a plate or some type of stamping on the vehicle showing its original vin so the new vin# can be applied. Translation: The car has to have some id on it matching some paperwork, otherwise they have no way of knowing if the car you brought them matches up to the paperwork. There are companies out there that make plates that you can engrave the number you need on them. Good luck.
