How do I replace my vehicle's Vehicle Identification Number tag?

Replacement Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) tags/plates (located under the windshield) are only available through a Ford Dealer and must be installed in their presence. 

Obtaining an Older Vehicle Identification Tag

If your dealer is unable to provide a tag due to the age of your vehicle, you may be able to locate a replacement through a third-party company. 

Before purchasing a tag, it is important to know which type of tag your vehicle has. Ford has used several methods to identify vehicles and equipment over the years, such as: 

• Prior to the 1950s: Aluminum plates were mounted on the firewall. 
• In the 1950s and 1960s: A combination of aluminum tags and sticky labels were mounted in the door jamb area. 
• In the 1970s: Sticky labels were used for vehicle identification.

For a list of Ford-authorized approvers who can provide replacement tags for older vehicles, choose the tag material type in the drop-down options below.

Notes: 

• Many sources claim to be authorized by Ford but are not licensed.
• To receive a replacement, you must be able to produce an original or damaged tag.
