Are you referring to VIC (vehicle identity card number)

If it's the case, it's the document you get from the dept. of motor traffic. This is a must when you transferring a vehicle. It's basically contains the same information of the certificate of registration of a motor vehicle. Apart from that you get the chassis number and the engine number in a vehicle.

No machan, this is something else. this is unique number given by Vehicle manufacturer to identify a vehicle. so they can use this details to gather Manufacturing plant, Country, Model etc..

Some Japanese manufacturers use a different format (for ex: model code + serial number) for domestic vehicles, so you may not be able to figure out all the information from VIN itself.
