It's the vehicle identification number of a car.
It is stamped on the car's chassis plate & is shown on the car's documents.
This is so that a car can be identified regardless of the registration plates that it has fitted.
If you are buying a car, you need to check that the VIN is the same on both the documents & the chassis plate & make sure that the plate does not look tampered with.

A VIN is a vehicle identification number, so saying VIN number is redundant. It is a unique identifier for your vehicle.

It's a car's individual serial/identification number. The VIN number can be found on a car's registration, and on various parts of the car. It is most commonly displayed somewhere on the dashboard, facing the windshield.

Vehicle Identification Number. In most cars it is found in the drivers side corner of the dash board and is usually 17 characters long. It helps to identify your car if it was to ever get stolen.
