What is a VIN?

VIN stands for "Vehicle Identification Number" and is unique to your Honda. This sequence of seventeen letters and numbers is specific to your vehicle and reports its engine size, body style, model year, transmission type, color, etc. All vehicles newer than 1980 come with a VIN.

Where can I find my VIN?

Your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) can be found on a small, metal plate attached toward the top of the the driver's side of the dashboard. This small, metal tag is designed to remain visible through the windshield to view/access easily. Every car is required to have one of these correctly-located small, metal plates and it is illegal to remove or change this plate. If this tag is missing, chances are the vehicle has been repaired, or more likely, stolen.
