VIN
Your car also has an identity number – it is called a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN for short.) The VIN number consists of 17 digits using an alpha numerical code which provide details of the car’s make, model, options, year of manufacture and the serial number.
The VIN number will be recorded when you take your car for an insurance inspection. The number is entered on the car registration card and is also engraved in your car. You will find this near the base of the windshield on the driver’s side dashboard and sometimes on the driver’s side door as well.
