VEHICLE DESCRIPTION
PLATE NUMBER YEAR MAKE
BODY STYLE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
I serviced, repaired or replaced the odometer for the vehicle described on this
form. I was unable to perform the work without changing the odometer reading.
The odometer reading was adjusted to zero.
OR
If the reading is greater than zero, I certify that it now reads:
DATE OF READING (IF NOT THE SAME DATE AS BELOW)

The notice was placed on the vehicle in accordance with ORS 815.415 and DMV Administrative Rules. I understand that it is a crime under
ORS 162.085 to certify the truth of a statement when I know the statement is not true. Such a crime is punishable by a jail sentence of up to
six months, a fine of up to $1,000, or both.
