Car VIN help!

[Raj Diocee]

Hey guys/gals,

I'm a little bit worried on this. I am trying to register my vehicle in the 
US, I brought the car down from Manitoba, Canada.  I am the owner of the 
vehicle and have been for the past 7 years, and it is currently registered 
in Canada. To register it here, I need to get a certificate that says it 
conforms to US DOT/EPA rules. I can only get this from the manufacturer 
(AoA).  When calling and faxing AoA all of my car info, they replied that my 
VIN is invalid. I don't understand how this could be true.  I checked on 
Carfax, and they've got all the info for my VIN. I then called US Customs to 
find out what I could do next. They said the VIN should be in a couple of 
places (winshield, doorjam, firewall).

Now here's my prob, the winshield and doorjam have the following VIN: 
WAUFB0818EA074573(this is the one currently on my canadian registration, and 
the one that AoA said was invalid). The firewall has this VIN: 
WAUZZZ81ZEA074573. Are our cars supposed to have 2 VIN's? What's going on? 
If I try the WAUZZZ... VIN on carfax, I get an invalid entry message, but 
the WAUF... VIN works ok? I'm really confused.

Any info on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
