Every Honda Passport (2019–2024) carries a 17-character VIN that begins with the 5FN WMI. The Passport is a gas SUV; this page shows what each character of a Honda Passport VIN means and gives 4 checksum-valid sample VINs you can drop straight into test fixtures. Synthetic — not real: no scraping, no real-owner data. The generator below is pre-filtered to the Passport.
Each sample below is built from the real 5FN WMI and the Passport's descriptor, so it decodes to a Honda Passport of the right model year:

Worked on the sample 5FNYF8H01KB568122 — a 2019 Honda Passport:
| Position | Section | Value | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | WMI | 5FN | Marks the VIN as Honda, built in United States |
| 4–8 | VDS | YF8H0 | Descriptor for the Passport — SUV body, gas powertrain |
| 9 | Check digit | 1 | Mod-11 checksum over the other 16 characters |
| 10 | Model year | K | Code K = 2019 |
| 11 | Plant | B | Assembly-plant code |
| 12–17 | Serial | 568122 | Sequential production number |
Positions 1–3 of every Honda Passport VIN read 5FN — the World Manufacturer Identifier that marks the vehicle as Honda, assembled in United States (North America). After the WMI, positions 4–8 (YF8H0 in our seed) describe the Passport itself; see the full 17-digit format.
Position 10 encodes the model year. For the Passport, 2019 is code K and 2024 is code R. See the 2024 year code or the check-digit math.

A Honda Passport VIN is 17 characters starting with the 5FN WMI, for example 5FNYF8H01KB568122. Positions 4–8 describe the Passport, position 9 is the check digit, position 10 is the model year, and 12–17 are the serial number.
Read it left to right: 5FN is the Honda WMI, positions 4–8 are the Passport descriptor, position 9 verifies the VIN via a mod-11 checksum, position 10 gives the year, position 11 the plant, and 12–17 the serial. Paste any VIN into the decoder to do it automatically.
The Passport in our seed uses the 5FN WMI (United States). Any VIN beginning with 5FN decodes to Honda.
No. They are synthetically generated but checksum-valid, use the real Honda 5FN WMI, and carry the Passport's descriptor and a valid year code — so a decoder returns a Honda Passport. No real vehicle's VIN is used.
