VinGenerator Algorithm

VinGenerator is a unique, proprietary VIN-building algorithm. By leveraging our extensive database of 17-digit VINs, users can build a partial VIN by following step-by-step protocols. Using our VinLink web API service, you can create a partial SquishVIN through a selection process that starts with year, make, and model. As you select these VIN attributes, the VIN is generated in real time.

VINs are meant to be decoded for true ISO 3779 and NHTSA Title 49 compliance. We are not a VIN lookup company. ESP has been the only VIN data supplier to collect and catalog more than 750,000 original OEM VIN data sheets dating back to 1981. If you’re not using VinLink, your data may be noncompliant, or worse, inaccurate.
