Free VIN Lookup — Find Key Options for Your Vehicle
Find your key by VIN
Free, no account needed. Enter your 17-character VIN. We decode the year, make and model to show listed key options. Confirm the original part number, key type and vehicle equipment before ordering. You can also type a vehicle, FCC ID or part number.
The VIN is on the driver-side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the door-jamb sticker, and your registration or insurance card. Before ordering, match the part number and key type; for remotes, also compare the FCC ID and button layout.

Find a key fob by VIN number: what to confirm before ordering
A VIN helps identify the vehicle and narrow replacement-key choices. It does not, by itself, prove that a particular remote, transponder or blade fits your vehicle. Use the lookup results alongside the original key’s part number, FCC ID where present, button layout and ignition type.
Can I find a key fob by VIN number for free?
Public tools such as the NHTSA VIN decoder can identify vehicle information. UrbanX Key Lookup Pro requires sign-in and an approved locksmith account. Decoding a VIN does not provide a programmed replacement key. If you do not have an approved account, use our public FCC ID lookup guide to compare identifiers, or confirm the required key part with a vehicle-maker parts department or qualified automotive locksmith.
Ford key replacement by VIN
For a Ford replacement, confirm the required part against the VIN and vehicle equipment, then compare it with the original key where available. Ford’s parts catalog recommends VIN-based parts searches. Also check whether the vehicle uses a turn-key ignition or push-button start, and arrange any required cutting and programming before relying on the new key.
Nissan key replacement by VIN
For a Nissan replacement, compare the part reference, key type and button functions after identifying the vehicle. If every key is lost, ask the dealer or locksmith what ownership documents and vehicle access they require. Nissan’s replacement-key guide explains why the mechanical key-number plate and programming arrangements also matter.
Before ordering, compare the replacement item price with any separate cutting, programming and delivery charges. An uncut or unprogrammed key is not ready to start the vehicle when it arrives.
Key fob questions buyers ask
Can I get a key fob with my VIN number?
Yes. Entering your VIN helps narrow the vehicle and key options. To choose the right replacement, also compare the FCC ID or part number on your original key, the button layout, and whether your car uses a turn-key ignition or push-button start. Start with the VIN tool above, then open the matching product page to compare its details.
Can the VIN tell me the exact FCC ID?
A VIN identifies the vehicle, while the FCC ID identifies a radio transmitter. Equipment can vary within a model year, so use the VIN to narrow the choices and confirm the original key’s FCC ID or the key part number. Our FCC ID guide shows where to look.
What if I no longer have the original key?
Use the VIN lookup to find likely options, then confirm the key part and equipment with a Ford, Toyota, or other vehicle-maker parts department or a qualified automotive locksmith. Once confirmed, choose the matching UrbanX replacement and arrange cutting or programming if your vehicle requires it.
