Locating Your Polaris Ranger’s VIN or Chassis Number

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

It is important to provide the correct Vin as Polaris Rangers purchased in Ireland or the United Kingdom (UK) or EU may not be the same as the equivalent machines made for the US market. For example the 2018 Polaris Ranger 1000D Diesel Tail light will be 2 pin on the US built Machine but the same Polaris part on the UK Ranger may be a 3 pin. This is why it is important to have the exact model variation details when purchasing parts which can only be found using the Vin number.

Important: The number will be 17 Digits.
