What is a RIN Merge?
A RIN (Registrant Identification Number) merge occurs when two or more RINs are merged into one, known as the surviving RIN. The merged-out RINs then become inactive and all active plates and vehicle registered to the merged-out RINs are automatically transferred to the surviving RIN. If you order an abstract for a merged-out RIN, the system will display the abstract for the surviving RIN.
