Best Answer

A Vehicle Identification Number is permanently tied to registration and ownership records, and is commonly used as a secondary identification for a car, after the license place and cymbal.

This is something like using fingerprints and photographs. A picture is distributed and confirmed with fingerprints. A car license place is distributed and confirmed with a VIN.

As with a fingerprint, if only a VIN is known then the license place and owner can also be found.
