What is a VIN Number?

A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code assigned to every vehicle. It works like a fingerprint for a car, revealing its origin, specifications, and history.

VINs are used by manufacturers, insurers, and government agencies to track recalls, accidents, ownership history, and vehicle specifications.
