File an amendment with the court correcting the model year of your car and adding the VIN. You will need to serve the amendment on your former spouse by attaching a proof of service. You can use a court form proof of service or you can write your own proof of service. The proof of service verifies the date of mailing to your former spouse. If you write your own, it would just say that you are over 18 and the attached document(s) was/were sent via first class mail unless specified otherwise to ____________ (name and address of former spouse) on __________ (date). You sign and date the proof of service at the bottom under penalty of perjury. The date you sign should be the same as the mailing date and the same as the date you file your amendment with the court.
