Audi VIN stickers, door jamb VIN decals and chassis plate replacements
Need an Audi VIN sticker or VIN decal for the door jamb, a vehicle identification number label for the windscreen area, or a VIN plate / chassis plate / manufacturer’s plate for your vehicle records? This page covers how to identify the correct plate type, where to find it on the car, and how to order a replacement that matches the intended location and use-case.
VIN plate location guide for Audi
People often search “Where is the VIN plate located on my car” because an Audi can show the VIN in more than one place: a windscreen VIN display, a door jamb VIN sticker / vehicle ID tag, and sometimes a manufacturer information plate or automotive data plate.
Quick location routine
Check the windscreen area for a visible VIN display or label.
Check the door jamb / B-pillar region for VIN stickers and decals for door jambs.
Check the engine bay for a manufacturer’s plate / data plate where applicable.
If missing: photograph the mounting outline, rivet marks, or adhesive footprint for matching.
How to read a chassis plate
When decoding VIN plate characters and meanings, use a clear photo and do not guess similar-looking characters. If you are trying to understand the difference between chassis number and VIN number, compare the plate text with the documents you have and confirm which identifier is relevant.
Replacement, restoration and UK compliance wording
Common searches include “How to replace a lost or damaged VIN plate”, “Replacement chassis plate UK”, “VIN plate for V5C application”, “DVLA VIN plate requirements”, and “VIN plate requirements to pass MOT test”. If you are preparing a DVLA application or addressing an MOT failure concern, the key is ordering the correct plate type for the correct location rather than guessing a generic format.

Audi VIN stickers FAQ
Where is the VIN plate located on my Audi?
Start with the windscreen VIN display area, then check the door jamb/B-pillar for a VIN sticker or vehicle ID tag. Some vehicles also have a manufacturer’s plate or automotive data plate in the engine bay. Location depends on model and market.
How to find my chassis number without a logbook?
Check physical identifiers first: VIN sticker, VIN tag, VIN plate, chassis number plate, bulkhead plate, and any stamped points. Photograph what you find and avoid guessing worn characters.
How to read a chassis plate and decode VIN characters?
Use a clear photo and read carefully. Decoding VIN plate characters and meanings is easiest when the entire string is visible. If the plate includes weights, copy gross and axle values exactly as shown.
Difference between chassis number and VIN number?
The VIN is commonly the main identifier, while “chassis number” may be a general term or a specific serial format depending on context. Compare the plate text with any documents you have before ordering a replacement.
How to replace a lost or damaged VIN plate?
Confirm whether you need a VIN sticker/VIN decal for door jambs, a vehicle identification number label, or a metal VIN plate/chassis plate/manufacturer plate. Provide the VIN and clear photos of the mounting location. Proof of ownership may be required for sensitive orders.

UK searches include DVLA requirements for replacement chassis plates, DVLA VIN plate requirements, VIN plate for V5C application, and VIN plate requirements to pass MOT test. Requirements vary by scenario, so matching plate type and location is essential.
How to stamp a blank chassis plate and where to buy blank aluminum chassis plates?
If you need blank VIN plates for stamping, choose a blank aluminum identification plate option where available and use proper punches on a stable backing. If you prefer a finished item supplied, select engraved vehicle tags, etched metal plates, or anodized vehicle plates depending on application.
What information is required on a trailer ID plate?
Trailer identification plates often include manufacturer details, a serial/VIN, and weights such as gross vehicle weight tags and axle weight plates. If you have a caravan ID plate or CRiS plate/CRiS sticker, provide photos and the exact data shown on the original.
