Vehicle Certification (VC) Codes
Vehicle Certification (VC) Label Locator
The upper portion of the VC label contains the manufacturer's name, the month and year of manufacture, the certification statement and the VIN. It also includes the GVWR. The VC label is located on the left-hand door jamb.
If a vehicle requires replacement of the VC label and is 4 years old or less, an authorized dealer must submit the VIN to their respective regional office. The regional office will submit a web form to the assembly plant for the replacement label. Once the label has been printed, a representative from the regional office will deliver the label to the dealer and witness installation on the vehicle. If a vehicle is more than 4 years old and requires a replacement label, the dealer must submit a request to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
