Vin Plates

If my road bike is missing its vin plate can you get a replacement one? from what I can find on the vtnz website it only needs either a vin plate or chasis number which it has so do I need a vin plate put back on.

Is this the manufacturers VIN plate or an NZTA issued one? If the factory frame number is still there stamped into it then fine if the makers plate happens to be missing, but if NZTA have issued their own 17 digit code to that bike it needs to be present, even though the final digits are the same.

It has the numbers stamped into the frame but no plate riveted on. has holes where a plate has been riveted on.
