“A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code assigned to every motor vehicle manufactured since 1981. You can find it on the dashboard near the windshield (visible from outside), on the driver's side door jamb, in your vehicle registration document, or on your insurance card.”
