A VIN number is known as Chassis Number in nigeria.

A Vehicle Identification Number, commonly abbreviated to VIN, is a unique serial number used by the automotive industry to identify individual motor vehicles. Prior to 1981, there was not an accepted standard for these numbers, so different manufacturers used different formats.

Modern day VINs consist of 17 characters which do not include the letters I, O, or Q (to avoid confusion with numerals 1 and 0).

There are vehicle history services in several countries (such as Carfax or Auctocheck in the USA), that can help potential car owners use VINs to find lemons and branded vehicles.
