Where is the VIN number in Toyota Camry (Toyota Camry VIII (XV70))?

This guide covers the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and chassis number locations for the Toyota Camry VIII (XV70) produced between 2018–2020, with instructions written for LHD (left-hand drive) vehicles.

Chassis Number Locations

Dashboard VIN Plate (Windshield)

• Where to look: From outside the car, stand at the lower left (driver’s-side) corner of the windshield and look down at the dash—there’s a VIN plate under the glass with a QR code next to the characters.
• Access: Low difficulty. No tools needed, but glare and dirty glass can block the view.
• Note: On LHD cars, this is on the left side of the windshield.
• Tip: If reflections are making characters hard to read, capture it instantly with your phone using the glare-friendly approach—use the camera and scan the VIN directly instead of typing it out.

Driver’s Door Jamb Label (B-Pillar Certification Sticker)

• Where to look: Open the driver’s door and locate the black certification label on the lower section of the driver’s-side B-pillar (door jamb). It shows the VIN, plus paint/weight info.
• Access: Low difficulty. Very accessible with excellent contrast (white text on black sticker).
• Note: On LHD cars, this label is on the left side (driver’s side).
• Tip: This is one of the easiest surfaces to read—use your camera to use the free VIN reader and avoid misreading characters like 8/B or 0/O.

Floor VIN Stamp (Under Front Passenger Seat / Carpet Flap)

• Where to look: Open the front passenger door and look under the front passenger seat. Find the pre-cut flap in the carpet and slide/lift the flap to expose the VIN stamped into the chassis/floor pan cross-member.
• Access: Medium difficulty. You’ll be crouched outside the car, working in a dark area under the seat; you may need to move the seat for better access.
• Note: This is commonly on the front right floor area for LHD vehicles (passenger side), but check the driver-side front footwell if you don’t find it.
• Tip: Because it’s shadowy and awkward to hold steady, turn on light and let the camera do the work—use Flashlight + OCR to scan it with your phone without trying to write it down under the seat.

Engine Block Number (Engine Number)

• Where to look: In the engine bay, locate the engine block stamping on a vertical flat machined surface on the metal casting, facing forward/slightly right (from the driver’s perspective), near the alternator and accessory belts. The code is stamped into the metal.
• Access: High difficulty. It sits deep in the bay near hoses/belts and is often greasy or grimy—a flashlight and a rag/brush help.
• Note: This is the engine number, not the windshield VIN plate—use it for engine verification during inspections.
• Tip: If the stamping is dirty or low-contrast, wipe it and use High Contrast AI Mode—you can capture the engine number cleanly instead of guessing characters from an awkward angle.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Windshield VIN glare: If the sun hits the glass, the VIN plate washes out—change viewing angle, shade the area, and clean the outside of the windshield.
• Under-seat floor VIN is hard to access: The carpet flap can stick and the area is dark—slide the seat, lift the flap carefully, and use a flashlight to avoid missing the stamped digits.
• Sticker vs. stamped VIN mismatch: Door-jamb labels can be replaced—always cross-check with the windshield VIN and the stamped floor/chassis VIN when verifying a vehicle.
