What is the purpose of the WID number?

The purpose of the WID number is to track applications submitted to PennDOT. This number plays a crucial role in the administrative processes related to vehicle titles and registrations. It serves as a unique identifier that allows PennDOT to manage and monitor the flow of applications efficiently, ensuring each submission is accounted for and processed appropriately.

The WID number facilitates communication within the department and contributes to a streamlined operation, helping to maintain organized records and track the status of submissions. It does not, however, identify vehicle models, classify motor vehicles, or play a role in the registration of vehicles in other states.
