VIN # stamped on frame?

[perkussion]

Hi everyone,
 I bought a 2008 Grandvista in bad shape from a used car dealer in another state. It has a title.
After going over the scooter, (taking off every panel), and putting hours of work into it,
I eventually discovered that there was no VIN number plate.
The used car dealer, (about 300 miles away), is now playing dumb.

If you take off the little cowl cover there are two rivets but no plate.
On other scooters that we have, the number is just stamped on the frame.

When I bought it, I only compared the title and the VIN number/model number sticker on the scooter's lower right side.
They matched.

Now someone from another state wants to buy it from me but if it has no VIN, he won't be able to register it.

My questions are:
Is there supposed to be a dog tag type plate with a VIN on Kymco scooters?
Is there any other place that the number is stamped on the frame so maybe the DMV officials can compare it to the title.

Thank you guys.

Thank you de dee.
 The DMV accepted the VIN # on the sticker applied to the lower right side.

They are not required to have it on the neck, so sometimes it's in a different location.
(especially if there is plastic that would cover it)
