FAQ
Common questions about VIN lookups.
- What is a VIN?
- A Vehicle Identification Number is the 17-character code that uniquely identifies your car, truck, or motorcycle. Every vehicle built since 1981 has one.
- Where do I find my VIN?
- Look on the dashboard at the base of the windshield on the driver's side, on the driver's-side door jamb sticker, on your title or registration, or on your insurance card.
- Is this VIN lookup free?
- Yes. We use the U.S. government's free NHTSA vPIC database, which returns the manufacturer-reported specs for any 17-character VIN.
- Does it work for Alaska vehicles?
- Yes — VINs are standardized nationwide. Whether the vehicle is registered in Alaska or another state, the decoded year, make, model, and specs will be the same.
- Does it pull my registration or owner info?
- No. For privacy reasons, NHTSA only returns vehicle specifications, not ownership or title data. For that, visit us in Fairbanks and we'll pull your Alaska DMV records.
