Where can I find my Ford's Vehicle Identification Number?

All vehicles have a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) consisting of a structured combination of 17 characters. The VIN appears in a number of locations on a vehicle.

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be found in the following places:

  • Stamped into the floor panel on the right-hand side, beside the front seat.
  • On the left-hand side of the instrument panel.
  • On the vehicle identification plate which is within the right-hand door aperture.
  • On the vehicle registration document.

    Please watch the video below for information on locating the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):


NOTE: International model shown, local specifications may vary. Video is used for illustrative purposes only.

For more specific information on locating your vehicle's VIN, please refer to the section "Vehicle Identification" in your Owner's Manual.

To locate your Owner's Manual in the FordPass App, please go to 'Vehicle Details > Vehicle Support Section.


 Notes:

  • The VIN location for 1967 and older vehicles varies by model. You may find the VIN on the driver's side doorjamb, inside the glove compartment, on the right-hand dash panel, or the top left-hand side of the frame between the steering gearbox and firewall. 
  • The letters I, O, and Q are not included in a VIN to avoid confusion with the numbers 1 (One) and 0 (Zero).
