Ya know, I don't think that having that data wrong on your "piece of paper" is going to be a problem. Looking at your next steps in the process, I don't believe that information is needed:

1. Go to the CHP for a VIN number. [don't need "piece of paper"]
2. Call BAR for an appointment [just need to tell them that you have the "piece of paper"]
3. Go to the BAR. The referee will want to see the "piece of paper" that shows the Sequence Number. Then he just enters the new VIN and the Sequence Number into the cumpooper and he tests your car and then gives you a sticker, which has your VIN, Sequence Number, and breif vehicle description.
4. Brake & Lamp inspection [don't need "piece of paper"].
5. Return to DMV to turn in all of the paper work.

I don't recall anywhere in this process where you need to "prove" with Cal Driver's License # that you are the rightful owner of the "piece of paper".

When all is said and done, the "piece of paper" is never needed again, as the sticker on your Cobra and the records in the DVM database (filed under your VIN) are all that is needed.

Unless someone has experience with "some wrong data" that held up the process, then I would not sweat it and just move forward. Why give the DMV another chance to "loose" your "piece of paper"?

Just my 2 cents...
