This is the "Vehicle Identification Number". It is a unique set of 17 letters or numbers used to identify the manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other specifications of the car. The chassis number and engine number are like the car's ID numbers. From the moment you buy the car, these two numbers are essential—whether for registering the license plate at the DMV, obtaining a vehicle registration certificate, handling insurance, road maintenance fees, annual inspections, or any other car-related procedures. Additionally, during routine traffic police checks, the numbers on the registration certificate must match those on the car body. These numbers must not be altered. If changes are necessary, they must be reported and updated at the DMV. The chassis number is unique to each car. It can usually be found under the door, on the left side of the windshield, in the engine compartment, or on the driver's door pillar. It can also be located on the vehicle insurance certificate or registration card. The first digit of the chassis number represents the car's country of origin, the second digit indicates the manufacturer, and the subsequent digits denote the product serial number, among other details. According to Chinese law, forging or altering the chassis number is illegal, so it should never be modified without authorization.
