As I understand it, federal law mandates a non-removable second VIN hidden somewhere on every vehicle. This is part of what leads to conviction of car thieves that use VIN plates off junked cars to try to resell stolen vehicles.
This is also a requirement for boat identification numbers. (Manufacturer's serial numbers, not state registration numbers.)
