Does the Vehicle License Contain the VIN?

The vehicle license does contain the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), which is a 17-character alphanumeric code serving as the car's unique identifier. This code can also be found in the engine compartment. Below is more information about the VIN: 1. The VIN, or Vehicle Identification Code, is a 17-digit alphanumeric combination that ensures no two vehicles of the same model are identical within 30 years, functioning as the car's unique ID, much like a human's ID card. 2. The last six digits of the VIN can be used to query detailed vehicle information. 3. The 17-character VIN is typically divided into six sections: Characters 1-3 represent the manufacturer, brand, and type; Characters 4-8 (or 4-9 in European standards) indicate vehicle characteristics. China follows the U.S. standard, using positions 4-8 for these features.

Of course, the vehicle frame number is on the driving license! I'm the most qualified to talk about this because I just helped a friend with a vehicle transfer last month. The vehicle frame number, also known as the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), is printed in the second column of the supplementary page of the driving license, usually as a 17-digit alphanumeric combination. You might not pay much attention to it usually, but it's especially important in critical moments—for example, when buying a used car, you need to verify if the physical stamp matches the document to avoid purchasing a cloned vehicle. My personal habit is to jot down the first three digits of the VIN in my phone's notes (which represent the manufacturer), so that if the document is lost, I can quickly report it to the traffic police. Remember to regularly check if the original VIN under the windshield is corroded—it would be troublesome if it doesn't match the driving license!

Absolutely! The 'Vehicle Identification Number' in that little green booklet of the vehicle license is the chassis number. Last time my car got rear-ended, the first thing the insurance company asked for was a photo of the chassis number from the vehicle license. This number is like the car's ID card—traffic police check it along with the license plate during violations. A tip: cover that number on the vehicle license with clear tape, as the plastic film can wear off the print. If you find the chassis number on the license doesn't match the one engraved on the door frame, go to the DMV immediately, or you won't pass the annual inspection. Also, don't leave the vehicle license in direct sunlight—heat can blur the print.

Yes, it's definitely there, located in the middle of the vehicle information page on the vehicle license. My old SUV's vehicle license has been used for seven years, and the "Vehicle Identification Number" field still clearly displays the VIN. When purchasing a car, the 4S store will remind you to verify whether the physical number matches the one on the document. It's advisable to keep a photo of your vehicle license on your phone. Sometimes, when handling accident insurance remotely, the other party may request the VIN directly, which can be more convenient than providing the license plate number. Remember not to lend your vehicle license to others casually, as leaking the VIN could lead to vehicle cloning.
