Where is the VIN number in Honda CR-V (Honda CR-V VI [2019-2019])?

This guide covers the VIN (also called the chassis number/frame number in some markets) locations for the Honda CR‑V (Honda CR-V VI [2019-2019]) produced between 2019–2019.

Chassis Number Locations

Driver’s door jamb (B-pillar) certification label

• Where to look: Open the driver’s door and inspect the B-pillar (the post between the front and rear doors). You’ll find a black or white VIN/certification sticker with printed characters.
• Access: Low difficulty. No tools required—just open the door and wipe dust off the label if needed.
• Note: This label is easy to find on both LHD and RHD vehicles; the difference is simply which side the steering wheel/driver door is on.
• Tip: If you want to avoid typing mistakes, scan it directly with your phone—this label is usually crisp and high-contrast so OCR works very well.

Windshield VIN plate (lower dashboard corner)

• Where to look: Stand outside the vehicle and look through the windshield at the lower corner on the driver’s side—there’s typically a metal VIN plate on top of the dashboard.
• Access: Low to Medium difficulty. No disassembly, but glare/reflections on the glass can make it annoying to read.
• Note: Works the same for LHD/RHD—always check the driver-side base of the windshield for that market.
• Tip: If glare is washing out the digits, capture it instantly using the VIN scanner so you don’t have to squint and transcribe through the glass.

Front passenger footwell floor (stamped into chassis, under flap)

• Where to look: In the front footwell floor, under the carpet/mat area, there’s a rectangular plastic flap/cover cut into the carpet (often labeled “FRAME NUMBER”). Under that flap, the VIN is stamped into the metal chassis.
• Access: High difficulty. Slide the front seat back, lift the floor mat, then pull open the carpet flap. Expect low light and low contrast (stamp can blend into dark paint). A flashlight helps a lot.
• Note: Rule of thumb: this stamped floor VIN is commonly on the front passenger side for LHD vehicles, but check the driver-side front footwell if you don’t find it (it varies by market).
• Tip: Because it’s dark and you’ll be bent over an awkward angle, use the flashlight + OCR scan to grab the characters without trying to write them down under the seat.

Engine bay VIN/chassis stamp (firewall/bulkhead)

• Where to look: Open the hood and check the firewall/bulkhead (metal wall between engine and cabin), roughly center area (may be slightly offset depending on market). The VIN/chassis number is stamped directly into the metal below the cowl/wiper area.
• Access: Medium difficulty. You’ll need good light; the stamp can be partly hidden by hoses/engine components and may be grimy—wipe/scrub the surface first.
• Note: This location is present across markets, but exact left/right offset can vary—search the firewall area methodically.
• Tip: If the stamp is dusty, greasy, or low-contrast, switch on High Contrast AI Mode and scan it after wiping the metal clean.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Hidden floor stamp: The stamped chassis number is often under a carpet flap and has low contrast against dark paint—use a flashlight and clean the area before trying to read it.
• Engine bay stamp hard to see: The firewall stamp can be dirty or shaded by the cowl/hoses—wipe it down and change your viewing angle.
• Sticker/label warning: Door-jamb labels can be replaced after repairs—if anything looks tampered with, cross-check the windshield plate + stamped chassis number for consistency.
