What is a VIN Number?

When a motor vehicle is manufactured, it is assigned a unique code known as the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This 17-character string, which excludes the letters Q, I, and O to prevent confusion with 0 and 1, provides details about the vehicle's manufacturer, model, year, and production site, all in one sequence without 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 Hummer'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 Hummer, it can also be found on:

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

How to Check a Specific Number

Enter your Hummer's 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in the field above to access detailed insights about your vehicle. This includes information about the manufacturer, make and model, body style, engine type, assembly plant, and model year. The data is provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) based on details supplied by Hummer. Whether you drive a Hummer H1, H2, or H3, this VIN Decoder tool will help you get a precise build sheet or specific chart for your vehicle. For Hummer vehicles produced before 1981, the VIN might be shorter than 17 characters.
