A VIN Decoder is a system that will tell you what every digit in a VIN means. A VIN is a vehicle identification number.
A VIN Decoder is not the same as a DMV VIN Verification.
Vin Decoders are an online resource (or paper manual) and DMV Vin Verifications are an in person (physical) inspection of a VIN on a vehicle and documents.
If your vehicle is 1981 or newer it must have a 17 digit VIN.
Most VIN Decoders require a 17 digit VIN to work, however there are some available for older vehicles that have less than 17 digits in their VIN/Serial Number.
