VIN plate location guide and identification points
Searches like “Where is the VIN plate located on my car” are common when a label has faded or been removed.

Some also have a manufacturer’s plate / automotive data plate in the engine bay.
How to find my chassis number without a logbook
Start with physical identifiers: VIN sticker, VIN tag, VIN plate, chassis number plate, and any stamped points. Photograph what you find. If characters are worn, do not guess—confirm from clear images before ordering a replacement.

For decoding VIN plate characters and meanings, use a clear photo and read carefully. People also ask the difference between chassis number and VIN number when documents and plates present identifiers differently.
