What is a VIN Number?

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a distinct code given to each motor vehicle upon manufacture. This 17-character combination of letters and numbers, excluding Q, I, and O to avoid confusion with the digits 0 and 1, contains specific details about the vehicle’s manufacturer, model, year, and production location without spaces. Driving-tests.org pulls straight from government data.

How many characters:
17 (digits and capital letters)
Where to find:
Dashboard on the driver's side
First digit stands for:
Country of manufacturer

How to Find It

Finding your Chrysler's VIN is straightforward. Here’s where to look:

  • Passenger Cars: Check the front of the dashboard on the driver's side. View it from outside the vehicle through the windshield. Also, inspect the driver's side door pillar—open the door to find the VIN where the door latches.
  • SUVs: Look in similar locations as passenger cars, focusing on the driver's side door pillar and the front of the dashboard.

If you're unable to locate the VIN on your Chrysler, it can also be found on:

  • Your vehicle's title documents.
  • Liability insurance documents.

How to Check a Specific Number

Enter your Chrysler's 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in the field above to look up and receive an instant report on its manufacturer, brand, make and model, body style, engine size, assembly plant, and model year. The information is provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) from the data submitted by the manufacturers to NHTSA. The VIN Decoder lookup is intended for use with Chrysler vehicles manufactured since 1981. Whether you own a Chrysler Pacifica, a 300, or any other Chrysler model, this tool is the best way to get a detailed build sheet or chart specific to your vehicle. If your Chrysler was made before 1981, the VIN may be a shorter sequence of characters.
