Is the Vehicle Frame Number Listed on the Vehicle License?
1 Answers
Vehicle licenses do not display the vehicle frame number. Typically, the vehicle frame number (VIN) can be found in the following locations: the lower left corner of the front windshield, the nameplate inside the engine compartment, the driver's side door pillar, or the insurance policy. The vehicle frame number refers to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The 17-digit VIN is structured as follows: the first three characters indicate the country of manufacture, the manufacturer, and the vehicle type; characters 4 to 8 describe vehicle characteristics, such as the vehicle category, engine type, and body type; the 9th character is a check digit used to verify the VIN's accuracy; the 10th character represents the production year, identifying the model year of the vehicle, which is crucial for vehicle identification; the 11th character indicates the assembly location, often denoted by '0'; and characters 12 to 17 represent the production sequence number.
