EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT Vin:

What is a VIN Number?

A VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique code used to identify every motor vehicle.
VIN numbers have been used since the early 50's to distinguish one vehicle from another. At first there was no standard for this information so manufacturers were using different systems and length.
In 1981, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, standardized the format to the ISO 17 characters combination still in use today.

VIN numbers use a combination of digits and letters with exclusion of letters I, O and Q to avoid any confusion with digits 1 and 0.

How to read a Vehicle identification (VIN) Number?

Are non ISO Vehicle Identification Numbers legals?

Some vehicles may have a VIN with fewer characters than the Standard 17.
It just means that this vehicle has been manufactured before 1981. There is no way to change its number because it's the lifetime id of the vehicle.
These numbers are totally legals and compliant with DMV/DOT regulations.

When and how to check a VIN number?

When looking to buy  any motorized vehicle (car, motorbike, truck, RV, trailer, scooter,...) it's always a good idea to check the Vehicle History Report (VHR) using its VIN. This report will give you a lot of important information such as changes of owner, maintenance history, accident history, airbag deployment and more.
Check your VHR now on DMV.org

Is it legal to replace a VIN tag?

According to Federal law, it is perfectly legal to replace your VIN tag when needed.
We also recommend to check your State laws for specific recommendation or regulation.

DMV tips about Vehicle identification number (VIN) plates, id and data tags requirements.

Vehicle identification number (VIN) DMV requirements

To register a vehicle, the department of motor vehicle (DMV) and/or department of transportation (DOT) requires the vehicle identification number (VIN) to be displayed on the vehicle. Absence or illegibility of the number on the vehicle could lead to a denial.

Make sure your VIN is properly displayed on your vehicle using a high quality engraved plate. Decals, stickers or homemade labels fade very quickly with time, washing and weather conditions.

A custom engraved aluminum VIN tag / id plate or data plate is the best way to display required information on your vehicle.


Get compliant

At Las Vegas Custom engraving, we offer a large variety of high quality VIN tags, id and data plates. Get yours today and avoid a registration denial or a fine.
