The third part of the VIN code consists of 8 figures or the letters designating serial number of a vehicle. The first sign consisting of a letter of the Latin alphabet, specifies for a year of release of a vehicle.

For example, identification number of the car VAZ-21013 has the following designation: XTA 210130D00000002, where X – a geographical zone (Russia), T – the manufacturer code (And – VAZ, In – AZLK etc.), 210130 – model or the updating, D – year of release (1983), 00000002 – serial production number.

For designation of year of release of vehicles the following letters are established: D–1983, E – 1984, F – 1985, G – 1986, H – 1987, J – 1988, K – 1989, L – 1990, M – 1991–1992, P – 1993, R – 1994, S – 1995, T – 1996, V – 1997, W – 1998, the X-th-1999, Y – 2000.

There is a mass of ways of falsification and forgery. In practice interrupt (and respectively bring in the document), as a rule, one figure in number. But to tell on pages of a popular edition about subtleties of technology it is represented inexpedient. And hardly the person who for the first time has taken in hands the document, can reveal forgery and pay attention to discrepancies. Therefore car check on stealing in GAI not only verification of numbers with computer data, but also verification of documents is represented to the most reasonable. And still at visual survey of numbers on the car and documents we advise to pay attention on:

 – compliance of fonts and their inclinations;
 – an ootvetstviye and sequence of terms and dates in records;
 – lack of erasures and violations of a protective grid;
 – readership of prints of the seals.

Especially sharply this question costs concerning documents on the cars which have arrived from Poland and Baltic.
