How to Find Your VIN on a Chevrolet

Your Chevrolet's VIN is a 17-character code — letters and numbers — that uniquely identifies your exact vehicle. You need it to look up the original window sticker or build sheet. Here's where to find it.

Three places to find your VIN

• Base of the windshield, driver's side: Stand outside the vehicle and look at the lower-left corner of the windshield. The VIN plate is visible from outside the glass — no need to open the door. This is the most commonly used location.
• Driver's door jamb sticker: Open the driver's door and look at the edge of the door frame (the jamb). There's a sticker with the VIN, along with tire pressure and weight ratings. On trucks and full-size SUVs, this sticker is often easier to read than the windshield plate.
• Registration, insurance card, and title: Your vehicle's registration certificate, insurance documents, and title all list the VIN. This is useful if you're looking up a vehicle remotely or the physical labels are worn.

On your Chevrolet

Chevrolet's lineup covers everything from full-size trucks to compact crossovers and electric vehicles, and the VIN location is consistent across all of them:

• Silverado 1500 / 2500 / 3500: Full-size trucks — the door-jamb sticker tends to be easiest to photograph or read. The windshield plate is also clearly visible.
• Tahoe and Suburban: Full-size SUVs built on the truck platform — same locations as the Silverado.
• Equinox and Trailblazer: Compact crossovers — windshield and door jamb both work well.
• Traverse and Blazer: Mid-size crossovers — the windshield plate is easy to read from the outside.
• Colorado: Mid-size truck — check the door jamb; on crew-cab models the sticker is clearly visible when the front door is open.
• Malibu: Sedan — windshield and door jamb, same as any passenger car.
• Camaro and Corvette: Sports cars — the windshield VIN plate is the quickest location; on the Corvette the door jamb sticker may be inside a narrower opening.
• Bolt EV and Bolt EUV: Electric vehicles — same standard locations apply.

On trucks and full-size SUVs specifically, the door-jamb sticker is often the simplest option because the door opening is wide and the sticker is at a readable height.

Next step: look up the window sticker

Once you have the 17-character VIN, look up your VIN to get the original factory window sticker — or the build sheet if the sticker isn't on file. Not sure what the sticker contains? See How to Read a GM Window Sticker. Looking for a different GM brand? See How to Find Your VIN on a GMC.
