What is the purpose of a VIN number?

[DelCaden]

VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique 17-character alphanumeric code composed of three parts, serving as a vehicle's exclusive identifier. It is also referred to as the "car's ID card." Specific details are as follows: 1. The full English name is Vehicle Identification Number, abbreviated as VIN. This 17-character alphanumeric sequence is a unique set of numbers assigned to each vehicle. 2. Additionally, the VIN consists of three components: Part 1 - World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI); Part 2 - Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS); Part 3 - Vehicle Identifier Section (VIS), which identifies the manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other specifications. 3. The VIN serves as a vehicle's exclusive identifier, ensuring no duplication occurs within the same model for 30 years, hence its nickname as the "car's ID card."
