The VIN of the Accord can be found in the following three places: under the front windshield on the driver's side, on the vehicle registration certificate (new certificates list it as "VIN"), and in other locations such as insurance documents, various plates in the engine compartment, and the driver's side door pillar. 1. Other locations: When registering a vehicle, the engine number and VIN are required. These numbers must be imprinted on special tracing paper and submitted to the vehicle management office for registration to prevent illegal modifications and theft. If the VIN or engine number is damaged or becomes illegible due to external reasons, retain relevant evidence and promptly update the registration. 2. Additional information: According to 2019 regulations, the following three types of vehicles cannot be registered: Vehicles that do not meet emission standards cannot be registered. In recent years, domestic emission requirements have become increasingly strict, reflecting the national strategy of environmental sustainability. Vehicles with mismatched information cannot be registered. If the vehicle identification number is incorrect or the vehicle has been tampered with or stolen, it cannot be registered. This situation often occurs with used cars, so extra caution is advised when purchasing a used vehicle. The Phase III emission standard has been phased out, and the Phase VI standard is now in effect. Therefore, vehicles meeting the Phase III standard must undergo scrapping procedures.

I've driven the tenth-generation Accord several times, and finding the VIN is a common task. It's that 17-digit combination of numbers and letters, crucial for vehicle registration or transactions. Typically located at the lower left corner of the windshield near the driver's side, clearly visible from outside the car. If it's not clear, you can also open the front door and look for it on the door pillar label, or lift the hood to find a small metal plate on the right frame. Once, when helping a friend buy a used car, we almost got scammed because the VIN was unclear. Since then, I've made it a habit to clean the area before checking. Remember, use a flashlight in poor lighting to avoid trouble. Don't forget to check it during regular maintenance to ensure it's not scratched or dirty, affecting identification—this thing is key to your vehicle's true identity.

As a car enthusiast who has worked on a 10th-gen Accord modification project, I know how important it is to locate the VIN. It's most visible at the lower left corner of the windshield on the driver's side - you can spot it at a glance when parked. If that area is covered, just check the label on the door pillar when opening the door, or look for the metal plate on the front right frame under the hood. I find this very convenient, especially when replacing parts or visiting the DMV, saving me from being shuffled around in long waits. Actually, the VIN isn't just useful for transactions - you'll need it for insurance claims too, so I always keep a photo saved on my phone. Honda's design has always been reliable - the VIN location on the 10th-gen is similar to other Accord models, basically staying put as long as it doesn't get waterlogged and rust.

My experience with Accord repairs has taught me that the VIN is consistently located in the lower left corner of the windshield, easily visible near the driver's seat. If you can't find it there, check the label on the door pillar—it's printed on the opening side. You'll also find it in the engine bay, usually on a small metal plate on the right side wall. In the workshop, we often remind owners to check these spots first to avoid misidentifying the vehicle model. An unclear VIN can cause registration delays or complicate accident investigations, so it's wise to clean off any dust before parking. Having serviced several tenth-gen Accords myself, I've found the location always here—simple and practical.

My husband and I bought a tenth-generation Accord last year, and the VIN location was a key focus for me, as it's essential for verifying authenticity during resale. It's usually on the lower left side of the windshield, clearly visible from the outside looking in. There's also a small label on the door pillar when you open the door, or on the right side of the frame under the hood. When we bought the car, the salesperson showed us each location to avoid disputes later. For safety, I always teach my daughter to remember these spots in case of emergencies. After washing the car or rain, it's important to dry these areas promptly to prevent water stains from obscuring the numbers. Overall, the design is quite user-friendly, making it easy to locate without flipping through the manual.
