Damaged or Faded VIN Sticker? Here’s What to Do
The VIN sticker is an official identifier of your vehicle. It displays the unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) along with key technical information. If this sticker is damaged, faded, or completely unreadable, it can lead to serious issues — from complications during registration to suspicion of tampering. In this article, we’ll explain why it’s important to replace a damaged VIN sticker, how to do it, and where to order a factory-accurate replacement.
Why Is a Damaged VIN Sticker a Problem?
Even if your VIN is present on the chassis and in your documents, a missing or unreadable VIN sticker can cause issues:
- during registration and technical inspection,
- when selling the vehicle,
- if importing the car from abroad,
- during an insurance evaluation,
- when verifying the authenticity of the vehicle.
Inspectors may view a missing or faded sticker as a red flag — especially if the vehicle has had body repairs or a full repaint.
Common Causes of VIN Sticker Damage
- Aging and wear — UV exposure, door contact, or moisture
- Poor repair work — sticker removed or damaged during painting or panel replacement
- Low-quality material — often seen in counterfeit or non-OEM replacements
- Chemical cleaning — harsh products may fade or erase the print
What to Do If Your VIN Sticker Is Damaged
- Do not attempt to create a new sticker yourself. Unauthorized reproduction may be considered fraudulent.
- Don’t ignore the issue. It will likely be noticed during inspections or sale.
- Order a replacement from a professional company that specializes in OEM-style VIN stickers.
