Are the vehicle code and vehicle identification number the same?

[SanAmara]

Vehicle code and vehicle identification number are the same. Reasons why vehicle code and vehicle identification number are the same: According to Article 16 of Chapter 1 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," no unit or individual may privately alter the vehicle model, engine number, or frame number of a motor vehicle. When conducting an exterior inspection of a vehicle, if the vehicle management department discovers any unauthorized alterations to the vehicle identification number, they will temporarily impound the vehicle in accordance with work regulations and requirements. They will also collaborate with public security investigation departments to further verify whether the vehicle is stolen or involved in other illegal activities. Basic introduction to vehicle identification number: The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), also known as the chassis number, frame number, or 17-digit code, is a globally unique road motor vehicle identification number within a 30-year cycle, composed of 17 uppercase English letters (excluding I, O, Q) or Arabic numerals, based on international standards ISO 4030 or ISO 3779. It is equivalent to the "ID number" of a motor vehicle.
