Where the VIN number is placed depends on the year and manufacturer of car, so it might be good idea to do an internet search for the VIN using the manufacturer and year.
Some US States offer title search databases. Be aware that this search may have limitations if the car has a history outside of the jurisdiction in which you’re searching.
Follow through with the directions on the title search site. This will require you to have your VIN number ready (see step 1). Checking a provider’s reputability through the Better Business Bureau is also recommended.
