The VIN is stamped on the vehicle's frame, while the engine number is stamped on the engine block. The term 'VIN' is the commonly used name, with its professional terminology being the Vehicle Identification Number – a unique alphanumeric code assigned by the manufacturer to identify a specific vehicle. The engine number, referred to as the 'engine code' on the vehicle registration certificate, varies in location depending on the manufacturer; consult your vehicle's manual for specifics. The VIN is a 17-character alphanumeric code, also known as the 17-digit identification code, chassis number, or 17-digit number. The engine number is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with regulations, industry standards, or company practices to identify a batch of identical products.
