A browser-based tool to strictly validate 17-character Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN). It runs entirely locally and checks length, allowed characters, and the 9th-position check digit.

How to use

  1. Paste or type a VIN into the input box. Spaces and hyphens are supported.
  2. The tool uppercases and normalizes the input automatically, then validates length, allowed characters, and the 9th check digit in real time.
  3. Review the normalized VIN plus WMI, VDS, VIS, model year code, and plant code in the result area.
