Different‌‌Ways‌‌to‌‌Locate‌‌VIN‌‌or‌‌Chassis‌‌Number‌‌of‌‌a‌‌Car‌ ‌

Your‌‌Car’s‌‌Paperwork‌ ‌

If‌‌you‌‌don’t‌‌have‌‌access‌‌to‌‌the‌‌car‌‌right‌‌now‌‌or‌‌you‌‌don’t‌‌want‌‌to‌‌look‌‌around‌‌the‌‌vehicle‌‌for‌‌the‌‌VIN,‌‌then,‌‌you‌‌ should‌‌check‌‌out‌‌your‌‌paperwork‌‌as‌‌it‌‌certainly‌‌includes‌‌the‌‌chassis‌‌number.‌‌Some‌‌of‌‌the‌‌documents‌‌where‌‌you‌‌can‌‌ find‌‌the‌‌chassis‌‌number‌‌include‌‌the‌‌title,‌‌registration‌‌card,‌‌owner’s‌‌manual,‌‌insurance‌‌documents,‌‌body‌‌shop‌‌repair‌‌ trail,‌‌police‌‌reports,‌‌and‌‌vehicle‌‌history‌‌reports.‌ ‌

Your‌‌Car’s‌‌Dashboard‌ ‌

Another‌‌easy‌‌way‌‌to‌‌find‌‌your‌‌car’s‌‌VIN‌‌is‌‌to‌‌look‌‌at‌‌the‌‌lower-left‌‌corner‌‌of‌‌your‌‌dashboard.‌‌You‌‌can‌‌locate‌‌the‌‌ number‌‌by‌‌looking‌‌through‌‌your‌‌windshield‌‌on‌‌the‌‌driver’s‌‌side‌‌of‌‌the‌‌car.‌ ‌

Your‌‌Car’s‌‌Side‌‌Door‌ ‌

You‌‌might‌‌also‌‌be‌‌able‌‌to‌‌find‌‌the‌‌chassis‌‌number‌‌on‌‌the‌‌driver’s‌‌side‌‌doorjamb‌‌or‌‌the‌‌doorpost.‌‌So,‌‌open‌‌the‌‌side‌‌ door‌‌on‌‌the‌‌driver’s‌‌side‌‌and‌‌look‌‌around‌‌the‌‌doorjamb’s‌‌edges‌‌for‌‌a‌‌little‌‌white‌‌sticker.‌‌When‌‌a‌‌VIN‌‌is‌‌present‌‌on‌‌ the‌‌doorjamb,‌‌it‌‌is‌‌typically‌‌located‌‌right‌‌below‌‌the‌‌rearview‌‌mirror.‌‌Besides,‌‌you‌‌can‌‌also‌‌find‌‌the‌‌VIN‌‌of‌‌your‌‌car‌‌ on‌‌the‌‌opposite‌‌side‌‌of‌‌the‌‌driver’s‌‌side‌‌doorjamb‌‌near‌‌the‌‌area‌‌where‌‌the‌‌driver’s‌‌side‌‌seatbelt‌‌latches.‌ ‌

Your‌‌Car’s‌‌Hood‌ ‌

If‌‌you‌‌couldn’t‌‌locate‌‌the‌‌VIN‌‌on‌‌the‌‌previous‌‌areas,‌‌you‌‌can‌‌also‌‌pop‌‌the‌‌hood‌‌of‌‌your‌‌car‌‌and‌‌check‌‌out‌‌the‌‌front‌‌ of‌‌the‌‌engine‌‌block‌‌for‌‌the‌‌chassis‌‌number.‌ ‌

Your‌‌Car’s‌‌Front‌‌Frame‌ ‌

Sometimes,‌‌you‌‌can‌‌also‌‌find‌‌the‌‌VIN‌‌on‌‌the‌‌front‌‌area‌‌of‌‌your‌‌car’s‌‌frame,‌‌especially‌‌near‌‌the‌‌windshield‌‌washer‌‌ fluid‌‌container.‌‌For‌‌that,‌‌you‌‌need‌‌to‌‌go‌‌to‌‌your‌‌car’s‌‌front‌‌body,‌‌pop‌‌the‌‌hood,‌‌and‌‌locate‌‌the‌‌window‌‌washer‌‌fluid‌‌ container.‌‌Keep‌‌its‌‌location‌‌in‌‌mind,‌‌close‌‌the‌‌hood,‌‌and‌‌then‌‌look‌‌at‌‌the‌‌vehicle’s‌‌frame‌‌near‌‌that‌‌location‌‌to‌‌find‌‌ the‌‌vehicle‌‌identification‌‌number.‌ ‌

Your‌‌Car’s‌‌Wheel‌‌Well‌ ‌

Another‌‌location‌‌where‌‌you‌‌can‌‌find‌‌the‌‌chassis‌‌number‌‌of‌‌your‌‌car‌‌is‌‌under‌‌the‌‌rear‌‌wheel‌‌well.‌‌So,‌‌go‌‌to‌‌the‌‌ backside‌‌of‌‌your‌‌car,‌‌get‌‌down‌‌on‌‌the‌‌ground,‌‌and‌‌check‌‌out‌‌both‌‌sides‌‌of‌‌the‌‌wheel‌‌well.‌‌You‌‌might‌‌need‌‌a ‌‌ flashlight‌‌to‌‌locate‌‌and‌‌clearly‌‌see‌‌the‌‌chassis‌‌number‌‌in‌‌this‌‌area.‌ ‌
