Free VIN Search / Decoding

Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN), can be decoded for FREE on a number of sites. If you have the VIN, you can decode this in the Vehicle Make, Model & Year. I have listed a few popular sites for your files.

Here is a list of sites that offer VIN decoding for FREE, some of them also offer (for a fee) additional information such as state of registration and possibly a history of maintenance or if the vehicle was involved in any accidents that resulted in an insurance claim being filed.

• http://www.carfax.com/
• http://www.autocheck.com/
• http://www.vinpower.com/index.aspx
• http://www.vehicleidentificationnumber.com/

The sites above will not help you with personal or owner information about the vehicle, however, depending on your situation you may get detailed information about the vehicle including owner / lien holder information at the following sites:

• Search by Licence Plate / Tag
• Search By VIN
• National Vin Search

Have Fun and Stay Safe.
