VIN Stickers: Requirements, Standards, and OEM-Level Manufacturing
The VIN sticker is a critical component of a vehicle’s factory labeling system. It contains the unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and other essential information. This sticker has not only an informational role but also legal significance — it’s used for registration, inspection, insurance, import procedures, and more. In this article, we’ll explain the requirements for VIN stickers, how they are manufactured, and how to order a replica that meets original factory standards.
What Does a VIN Sticker Include?
A VIN sticker may contain:
- The 17-character VIN,
- Production date,
- Paint code,
- Body type,
- Weight and load ratings,
- Manufacturer name or logo,
- Barcodes or QR codes,
- UV elements or holograms in some cases.
The layout and content can vary by manufacturer and country.
Where Is the VIN Sticker Located?
Common locations include:
- On the driver-side door jamb (B-pillar),
- On the door edge,
- On the dashboard near the windshield,
- Under the hood, often on a body panel.
Proper placement matters — the sticker must be visible, protected from damage, and accessible for inspection.
OEM Standards for VIN Sticker Manufacturing
Factory stickers follow strict standards and technologies:
- Durable vinyl with protective coating, resistant to abrasion, moisture, and UV light,
- Specialized fonts and inks, resistant to fading and tampering,
- Thermal or laser printing, for long-lasting legibility,
- UV-reactive elements, visible only under blacklight (used by BMW, Ford, Mercedes, etc.),
- Holograms and microprinting, for anti-counterfeiting protection.
When Do You Need a New VIN Sticker?
- The sticker was lost during repairs or door replacement,
- The print has faded over time,
- The car was imported without its factory sticker,
- Certification or customs authorities require an OEM-style sticker,
- The entire vehicle was repainted and the original label was destroyed.
⚠️ A poorly made or homemade sticker can raise suspicion and even be viewed as an attempt to hide the vehicle’s identity.
