Vehicle Identification Number is located under the front windshield of the car, and it is also marked on the vehicle's registration certificate. The Vehicle Identification Number is a set of codes assigned by the automobile manufacturer to identify the vehicle, consisting of 17 letters or numbers. The first 3 characters of the Vehicle Identification Number represent the country of production, manufacturer, and vehicle type respectively. Characters 4 to 8 represent the vehicle's characteristics, the 9th character is a check digit used to verify if the VIN is correctly filled, the 10th character indicates the production year, proving which year the vehicle was manufactured, the 11th character represents the assembly location (0 is used to denote this), and characters 12 to 17 are the production sequence number of the vehicle.
