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

You can find your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in the FordPass®* App, your Ford Account, and your vehicle's SYNC®** screen. You can also locate your VIN on your driver's side doorjamb, windshield (lower, driver's side corner), or vehicle documentation (e.g., registration, insurance policy, lease, or promissory note).

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).
