Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find the VIN on my car?
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN / Chassis number) is typically stamped on a metal plate visible through the lower corner of the driver's side windscreen, on the driver's door jamb sticker, in the vehicle registration document (Logbook / Registration certificate), and stamped into the chassis frame under the bonnet.
Why is the 9th character check digit sometimes marked invalid on European cars?
Under US and Chinese federal laws, character 9 must be a strict mathematical check digit modulo 11. However, under European ISO 3779 standards, vehicle manufacturers are permitted to use character 9 as an internal vehicle descriptor instead of a mathematical check digit. If you own an EU-market car, a check digit warning does not necessarily mean your VIN is fake.
Can I register a Left-Hand Drive (LHD) car in Cyprus?
Cyprus drives on the left (Right-Hand Drive / RHD). Generally, non-commercial passenger cars imported for personal use can be registered even if LHD, but commercial vehicles, buses, and taxis must strictly be RHD. LHD cars must adjust headlamps to prevent dazzling oncoming drivers and pass the Cyprus MOT.
