Does the generated VIN have a check digit?

Yes. Position 9 holds the digit calculated with the ISO 3779 rule used in North America. The VIN also follows the format rules: 17 characters and none of the letters I, O or Q.

Does Brazil require the VIN check digit?

No. It is mandatory in the United States and Canada, but a Brazilian VIN does not have to pass that calculation. If your system validates VINs by the digit, it will reject real Brazilian VINs.

Which plate format should I pick?

The Mercosul plate (ABC1D23) is the one on vehicles registered since 2018. The old format (ABC-1234) is still on many vehicles on the road and in older records. Pick the one your system must accept.

Is the generated RENAVAM valid?

The last digit comes from Modulo 11, so the number passes any RENAVAM validator. That does not prove it belongs to a registered vehicle.

Do the generated vehicles exist?

No. The brands and models exist on the market, but the plate, RENAVAM and VIN are drawn at random. One of them may match a real vehicle by chance, so use the data in tests only.

Do brand, model and year match real cars?

Only roughly. The list is short and hand-made, with one fuel per model and an approximate launch year. It makes test data look like a real vehicle and is not meant for lookups.

How to use the Vehicle Generator?

Pick the plate format

Choose a Mercosul or old plate and a quantity from 1 to 10. The page opens with one vehicle already generated.

Generate the vehicles

The tool draws a brand and model from the list, picks years that fit the model and calculates the RENAVAM and the VIN with their check digits.

Copy what you need

Copy a single field, a whole vehicle as text or the full list as JSON to paste into a test or a seed file.

About the vehicle data

What the tool generates

Each vehicle has a brand, model, manufacture year, model year (the same year or the next one), color, fuel, plate, RENAVAM and VIN. The list has 16 brands with 3 to 8 models each, written by hand just to make the data look real. It does not come from Senatran or from carmakers.

What a VIN looks like

A VIN has 17 characters and never uses the letters I, O or Q. The first three identify the manufacturer, position 10 holds the model year and the last six are the serial number. Position 9 holds the check digit: each character maps to a number, is multiplied by a weight (8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 10, 0, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2), and the remainder of the sum divided by 11 is the digit (a remainder of 10 becomes X).

The check digit in Brazil

This calculation is mandatory in the United States and Canada. In Brazil a VIN does not have to carry the right digit at position 9, and many real Brazilian VINs fail it. The VINs generated here pass the check, but a real VIN that fails it is not necessarily invalid.

Plate and RENAVAM

The Mercosul plate looks like ABC1D23 and the old one like ABC-1234. Neither has a check digit, so the tool just draws letters and numbers. A RENAVAM has 11 digits and the last one comes from Modulo 11. To generate only plates or RENAVAM numbers, or to validate a RENAVAM, use the Plate and RENAVAM Generator.
