The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on a car can typically be found in several common locations:

• On the driver's side dashboard, visible through the windshield near the bottom corner on the driver's side

• Inside the driver's side door frame or door jamb, often on a sticker or metal plate near the door latch area

• Stamped on the car's chassis, which might be visible in the engine bay or beneath trim around the driver or passenger door opening

• Near the windscreen washer fluid container on the car frame or above the rear wheel well tire area in some models

• On the front of the engine block under the bonnet (hood)

• In the vehicle's registration documents, insurance card, or owner's manual, where the VIN is also often recorded

The VIN is a unique 17-character code that identifies the vehicle and is used for tracking recalls, registrations, insurance, and vehicle history

. If you have trouble locating it, checking the owner's manual or contacting the manufacturer can help
