Default VIN label

HI - I need help. I bought a 1986 corvette from California (I live in NM). When I tried registered the vehicle, I found that the label on the door jam was missing. There was no evidence that the corvette was repainted, and the seller assured me that the car was not repainted. The number on the dash label and the number on the frame rail do match. Does anyone have any idea why that label was not there? Has anyone had experience with the people that offer a replacement label? Can you show me a picture of these labels - what they look like and exactly where they are located. Thanks, JMF48
