Generate a Random VIN Number
Use this free tool to instantly generate random Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) that follow real VIN structure rules.
VIN Generator Description
Every car has a unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) that reveals manufacturer, model year, plant code, and more. This Random VIN Generator uses official format rules to create valid but fictitious VINs — perfect for developers, testers, and educational demos.
You can generate a VIN by selecting a car brand, or get a completely random result. This tool does not access real vehicle records.
How VINs Work
A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a 17-character code used to uniquely identify motor vehicles. The VIN serves as the car's fingerprint, as no two vehicles in operation have the same VIN.
The VIN is divided into three main sections:
- World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI) - The first 3 characters identify the manufacturer.
- Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS) - Characters 4-9 describe the vehicle attributes. Position 9 is a check digit used to detect invalid VINs.
- Vehicle Identifier Section (VIS) - The last 8 characters (10-17) include the model year, plant code, and a sequential production number.
