Where is the VIN number in Honda Civic (Honda Civic XI [2019-2019])?

This guide shows where to find the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) on the Honda Civic (Honda Civic XI [2019-2019]) produced between 2019–2019, including the easiest-to-check labels and the hidden stamped chassis number.

Chassis Number Locations

1) Front Floor (Chassis Stamped VIN)

• Where to look: On the floor pan cross-member under the front-right seat area, directly in front of the front-right seat rails. Look for a rectangular plastic cover in the carpet labeled “FRAME NUMBER” (some trims may have just a carpet cut-out). Pry the cover up, then lift the thick carpet/insulation flap to reveal the VIN stamped into bare metal.
• Access: High difficulty. It’s dark in the footwell area, the plastic cap can be stiff to pry open, and the insulation padding often covers the stamping—expect to hold the flap open while you read/scan.
• Note: This floor VIN is commonly on the right side of the vehicle. On LHD cars it’s usually the front passenger-side floor, but if you don’t find it there, check the driver-side footwell as well.
• Tip: Because it’s shadowy and awkward to reach, use the app’s flashlight and let the camera read it—scan the VIN directly with your phone instead of trying to transcribe it while holding the carpet up.

2) Dashboard / Windshield VIN Plate

• Where to look: At the bottom corner of the windshield on the driver’s side (LHD)—a VIN plate mounted on the dashboard and readable from outside through the glass.
• Access: Medium difficulty. Easy to see, but glare/reflections and a dirty windshield can make characters hard to read.
• Note: Best checked from outside the car in daylight, but avoid direct sun hitting the glass.
• Tip: If glare is washing out the text, capture it instantly with the VIN scanner so you don’t misread similar characters (like 8/B or 5/S).

3) B-Pillar Certification Label (Door Jamb Sticker/Plate)

• Where to look: Open the front door and check the B-pillar door jamb.
  • LHD (US/EU): Usually a certification sticker on the driver-side B-pillar.
  • Some markets: May use a metal riveted plate on the opposite side.
• Access: Low difficulty. Clean, vertical surface, easy to photograph.
• Note: This is one of the quickest locations for confirming the VIN matches paperwork.
• Tip: Because it’s the easiest and often includes a barcode, use the free VIN reader to scan it cleanly without typing errors.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Can’t see the stamped floor VIN clearly: The insulation pad blocks the stamp and the area is dark—pry the cover, lift the padding fully, and add light (phone flashlight helps).
• Windshield VIN is hard to read: Sun glare and reflections on the glass can hide characters—change your viewing angle, wipe the glass, and avoid direct sunlight.
• Door jamb label doesn’t “prove” the chassis stamp: Stickers/labels can be replaced—when buying a used Civic, confirm the windshield VIN and door jamb VIN match the stamped floor VIN.
