NHTSA’s vPIC platform is intended to serve as a centralized source for basic Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) decoding, Manufacturer Information Database (MID), Manufacturer Equipment Plant Identification and associated data.
NHTSA’s VIN decoder allows you to query a particular vehicle’s VIN to identify specific information encoded in the number.
Under 49 CFR Part 565, manufacturers of motor vehicles are required to submit to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) VIN-deciphering information whenever the manufacturer creates a new VIN-deciphering scheme or needs to update or otherwise make an amendment to a previously submitted VIN-deciphering scheme.
The vPIC Dataset is populated using the information submitted by the Motor Vehicle manufacturers through the 565 submittals. All the information on how a VIN is assigned by the manufacturer is captured in this catalog and used to decode a VIN and extract vehicle information.
