Frequently Asked Questions

A VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique 17-character code assigned to every vehicle manufactured after 1981. It serves as the vehicle's fingerprint and contains information about the vehicle's manufacturer, model, year, and other identifying characteristics.

You can find your VIN on:

  • The driver's side dashboard (visible through the windshield)
  • The driver's side door jamb
  • Vehicle registration documents
  • Insurance cards
  • Title documents

Using FullVIN.com is simple:

  1. Enter the 17-character VIN in the search box on our homepage
  2. Click "Decode" or press Enter
  3. Review the free basic VIN decoder information
  4. If you want a comprehensive report, select a report package and complete your purchase
  5. Your detailed vehicle history report will be available immediately

FullVIN.com offers affordable pricing options to fit your needs. Our basic VIN decoder is free, and comprehensive reports start at competitive rates. We offer various packages including single reports and bulk packages for dealerships.

Our VIN Scanner feature allows you to scan VINs using your mobile device's camera. This is especially useful when you're at a dealership or viewing a vehicle in person.

Simply open the scanner on your phone, point your camera at the VIN (usually found on the dashboard or door jamb), and the scanner will automatically detect and read the VIN for you. This saves time and reduces the chance of typing errors.
