What is a VIN Number?

Each motor vehicle receives a unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) when it's manufactured. This 17-character combination of letters and numbers, excluding Q, I, and O to prevent confusion with the digits 0 and 1, provides information about the vehicle's manufacturer, model, year, and production location without any spaces. Driving-tests.org's VIN decoder is free to use and pulls straight from government data.

How many characters:
17 (digits and capital letters)
Where to find:
Dashboard on the driver's side
First digit stands for:
Country of manufacturer

How to Find It

Finding your Infiniti's VIN is straightforward. Here’s where to look:

  • Passenger Cars: Check the front of the dashboard on the driver's side. View it from outside the vehicle through the windshield. Also, inspect the driver's side door pillar—open the door to find the VIN where the door latches.
  • SUVs: Look in similar locations as passenger cars, focusing on the driver's side door pillar and the front of the dashboard.

If you're unable to locate the VIN on your Infiniti, it can also be found on:

  • Your vehicle's title documents.
  • Liability insurance documents.

How to Check a Specific Number

Enter your Infiniti's 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in the field above to obtain comprehensive information about your luxury vehicle. This includes details such as the manufacturer, brand, make and model, body style, engine specifications, assembly plant, and model year. The data is provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) from information supplied by Infiniti. Whether you drive an Infiniti Q50, QX60, or any other Infiniti model, this VIN Decoder tool will help you get a specific build sheet or detailed chart for your vehicle. For Infiniti vehicles made before 1981, the VIN may have fewer than 17 characters.
