Frequently Asked Questions
What does a VIN tell me?
The 17 characters encode the manufacturer, vehicle attributes, model year, assembly plant, and a serial number unique to that vehicle.
Why was my VIN rejected?
A VIN is exactly 17 letters and numbers and never contains I, O, or Q. Check for a 0 typed as O or a 1 typed as I.
I only have the license plate. Can I still search?
Yes. Choose the license plate option and enter the plate with the state that issued it.
