Locating Your Polaris Quads VIN or Chassis Number

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of your Polaris® ATV is a unique number used to identify your vehicle. It is stamped on the frame of your ATV.

On vehicles from 1997 and newer, the VIN is 17 digits. Prior to that, a VIN was only seven digits.

Where the VIN is stamped depends on the model of your vehicle.

For ATVs from model year 2011 to the present, the VIN usually is located either in the front left wheel well or the back left lower frame rail.
