Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINS )
A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique serial number used by the automotive industry to identify individual vehicles.
VIN characteristics
VINs conform to two international standards:
International Standards Organisation (currently ISO 3779 2009); and
US Standard FMVSS 115;
Every character in every position has a meaning relating to the make, model, year of manufacture and vehicle details;
A VIN is always 17 characters long;
The first three characters make up the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI). Every high volume manufacturer in the world is assigned its own WMI;
If the third character of the WMI is a 9, then this indicates a low volume manufacturer with positions 12–14 in the VIN indicating the low volume ID.
VINs can be decoded to identify this information so that the vehicle can be registered.
