Decode the Vehicle history number with this free tool

What is a VIN Number & Why is it Important?

The VIN, or Vehicle Identification Number, is a 17-character identification serial number of an automobile. This VIN consists of digital and alphabetical characters.

The VIN was legalized and standardized by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 1981.

Before 1981, automobiles had VINs from 11 to 17 characters. With our VIN decoder service, you can easily decode model year, engine type, year of manufacture, and place of production.

Please note that our decoder will only provide data for vehicles with a 17-character VIN.

How to Find the VIN on Your Car?

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is your car's unique 17-character fingerprint, essential for registration, insurance, and maintenance records. Locating it is surprisingly straightforward.

  • Dashboard: Visible through the windshield on the driver's side, displayed on a small metal plate at the base
  • Driver's door jamb: A sticker containing the VIN and other vehicle information
  • Vehicle documents: Registration papers, insurance card, and title
  • Older vehicles: Engine block, trunk, or frame near the spare tire

Still confused about decoding your vehicle VIN? Let's dive into that part.
