How to Contact the Vehicle Owner with the VIN Number?

[GageLee]

Common query methods involve public security, procuratorial, or judicial departments submitting official case investigation documents to the vehicle management office or traffic police for an official inquiry. Since vehicle owner information is classified as protected private data, individuals do not have the right to access it. The vehicle management office only provides status inquiries to the vehicle owner upon presentation of valid identification. Below are relevant details: 1. VIN Number Location: The VIN is typically located at the lower left corner of the front windshield, on the driver's side door hinge pillar, door lock pillar, or door edge, and may also be found in the engine compartment. The exact location varies by vehicle model. 2. Determining Production Date via VIN and Engine Number: The VIN consists of a 17-character alphanumeric combination, ensuring no duplication for the same vehicle model within 30 years. This 17-digit code reveals the vehicle's production country, year, model, engine type, etc., making the VIN the vehicle's unique identifier.
