What is a VIN

A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code assigned to every road vehicle when it’s manufactured. Think of it as your car’s fingerprint—no two VINs are the same. This alphanumeric sequence encodes important information about the vehicle, including its country of origin, manufacturer, model year, engine type, and assembly plant.

A Vehicle Identification Number is a 17-character code made up solely of uppercase letters (omitting I, O, and Q) and digits (0–9). It’s organized into the following distinct sections:

WMI
(Code 1–3)
VDS
(Code 4–8)

(Code 9–17)
