Monroney Sticker
by VIN

The Monroney label is the original window sticker every new car carries. On a used car it's usually gone, but the data often isn't. Check free whether it's on file for your VIN.

 

Or try an example:

2025 Ford F-150 2021 Jeep Wrangler
Where do I find my VIN?

On a used car, copy the VIN from the dashboard through the windshield or from the title, since the sticker itself is long gone.

Scan the VIN barcode

Point the camera at the barcode on the driver door jamb.

We only call a label original when it came from Ford's system or our licensed sticker-data partner. Brand by brand

What is the Monroney label?

The Monroney label is the window sticker on every new car sold in the U.S. The Automobile Information Disclosure Act of 1958 (15 U.S.C. 1232) requires it to show the make, model and VIN, the base price, each factory option and its price, the destination charge and the total suggested retail price. It also carries the EPA fuel-economy box. The fueleconomy.gov label guide explains each part of that box.

The dealer has to leave the sticker on until the car is sold. After that it’s usually thrown away, which is why most used cars don’t have one.

How do I get the Monroney label for a used car?

  1. Check with us, free. Enter the VIN above. We decode it with NHTSA, count recalls and check whether the original sticker is on file. If it is, it comes with the $9.99 Full Report.
  2. Ask the selling dealer. A franchised dealer of the same brand can sometimes reprint the sticker from their system. They don’t have to, and many won’t for a car they didn’t sell.
  3. Check the maker’s owner site. Some makers let owners see the original sticker in their account. Tesla, for example, puts it in the owner’s Tesla account.

Coverage varies by model and year. The free check gives you the answer for your exact VIN before any payment.

What does the label show that a listing doesn’t?

The label proves how the car left the factory: the exact trim, every package and its price, the paint, the engine and transmission, and the total original MSRP. For a real example, see the 2025 F-150 XLT result: $61,410 MSRP with 11 options listed, including the $7,440 Equipment Group 302A.

What it won’t tell you

A window sticker shows the car as it was built and priced new. It doesn’t show accidents, repairs, mileage or later modifications. Check open recalls on the exact VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, and get an independent inspection before you buy.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Monroney label?

It's the official window sticker on a new car, named after Senator Mike Monroney, who sponsored the 1958 law that requires it. It lists the base price, factory options with prices, the destination charge, the total MSRP and the EPA fuel economy.

Can I get the Monroney label for a used car?

Often, yes. Some makers keep a copy you can pull by VIN, a dealer can sometimes reprint it, and sticker-data services hold copies for many recent vehicles. Our free check tells you whether it's on file for your VIN before you pay.

Is a reprinted or rebuilt sticker the same as the original?

Not always. Some sites rebuild a sticker-style page from decoded data. That's not the original label. We only show a sticker as original when it came from the manufacturer or a licensed sticker-data partner.

How much does it cost?

The check is free. When the original label is on file, it's part of the $9.99 Full Report, a one-time payment that also includes every option with its price, the paint code and recall details.
