About this calculator

This tool validates a 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) by recalculating its check digit (position 9) according to the ISO 3779 / SAE J853 algorithm: each character is converted to a numeric value and multiplied by a position-based weight, and the weighted sum modulo 11 must match the check digit ('X' represents 10).

Used mainly on North American-market vehicles, this check catches typos when a VIN is copied from a title, registration, or window sticker — before ordering parts, running a vehicle history report, or registering a car. Enter the 17-character VIN to see whether the check digit is valid.
