Where is the VIN number in Toyota Camry IX (XV80) [2020-2020]?

This guide shows where to locate the VIN (chassis number) on the Toyota Camry IX (XV80) [2020-2020]. If one VIN is hard to read, use the secondary locations below to cross-check before buying parts, registering the car, or verifying vehicle identity.

Chassis Number Locations

1) Floor stamp (under front passenger seat)

• Where to look: Slide the front passenger seat all the way back and look at the floor cross-member. The VIN is stamped directly into the metal under a rectangular carpet flap or plastic cover.
• Access: Moderate. You’ll need to move the seat, then lift the flap / remove the cover. Lighting is usually poor in the footwell shadows.
• Note: This spot swaps sides on RHD cars. On LHD vehicles it’s commonly under the right/front passenger seat; on RHD vehicles it’s under the left/front passenger seat (still the passenger side). If you don’t find it, check the opposite front footwell floor.
• Tip: Because it’s dark and awkward to hold the carpet up, use the phone flash and OCR to scan it directly with ScanVin.app instead of trying to read the stamp at an angle.

2) B-pillar certification label (driver door jamb)

• Where to look: Open the driver door and inspect the driver-side B-pillar (door jamb). You’ll find a black certification sticker with white text that includes the VIN.
• Access: Easy. Good lighting with the door open; no tools needed. Watch for stickers that are peeling or faded.
• Note: On RHD vehicles, the “driver side” is the opposite side of the car—so check the B-pillar on the side with the steering wheel.
• Tip: This label is high-contrast, so it’s perfect to use the free VIN reader and avoid transcription mistakes.

3) VIN plate at lower windshield (driver side)

• Where to look: From outside the car, look through the windshield at the bottom corner on the driver side, where the dashboard meets the glass. The VIN plate is visible through the windshield (often with a QR code nearby).
• Access: Easy, but reflections are common. Clean the glass if needed.
• Note: Reflections/glare are the main issue—especially in direct sun.
• Tip: If glare makes characters “wash out,” capture it instantly with your phone from a slight angle rather than trying to type it in.

4) Engine bay stamp (firewall / cowl area)

• Where to look: With the hood open, inspect the firewall/cowl area near the back of the engine bay (close to the wiper/cowl region). The VIN/chassis number can be stamped into the metal.
• Access: Low to moderate. This area can be partially hidden by plastic cowl trim or weather stripping, and dirt can fill the stamped characters.
• Note: If you can’t see it, change your viewing angle and use a light—don’t confuse nearby casting numbers with the VIN.
• Tip: If the stamp is faint or dirty, scan it using high-contrast AI mode so you don’t misread similar characters (8/B, 5/S, 0/O).

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Carpet flap won’t sit open / too dark to read: slide the seat fully back, pry the flap up carefully, and use a flashlight to avoid misreading stamped characters.
• Engine bay stamp is grimy or partially hidden: scrub lightly with a rag/brush and adjust viewing angle; stamped numbers can “disappear” if dirt fills the grooves.
• Door-jamb sticker missing or faded: labels can peel or be replaced—always cross-check with the floor stamp (harder to tamper with) and the windshield plate.
