Free tool — for anyone with a car in the driveway
Free Vehicle Information Sheet
The details you need at a traffic stop, an insurance claim, or a sale are the ones you can never find — the VIN, the plate, who insures it, when the registration runs out. This free one-tab sheet is where you write them down once. Walk out to each vehicle with your phone: the VIN is on the plate at the base of the windshield and in the driver's door jamb, the registration card in the glovebox has the expiration date, and the insurance card has the rest. Twenty minutes, once, and every answer is in one place. It opens pre-filled with a worked example so you can see exactly what goes where.

What it does
- Keeps one row per vehicle: year, make, model, VIN, plate, who insures it, and when the registration and insurance expire — the facts a traffic stop, a claim, or a buyer actually asks for.
- Handles the whole household, not one car — add every vehicle you own or lease to the same sheet.
- Records who each policy is with and where the documents live — never policy numbers, account numbers, or logins.
- Comes as a fillable spreadsheet (Excel, Google Sheets & LibreOffice) and a printable PDF — nothing to sign up for, nothing saved anywhere but your own copy.
Own it, don't rent it
Want the binder that tells you what's due?
This sheet holds the facts. The full binder works out what's actually DUE — type each vehicle's odometer and when a service was last done, and it flags every item by date AND by mileage, whichever comes first, catching the oil change your calendar says is fine but your odometer doesn't. It counts every registration, insurance and inspection renewal down in days, and adds a service history with a running total, a recall and warranty tracker, loan and lease math, and a document and key index — a 10-tab workbook (Excel & Google Sheets) plus three PDF guides.
A one-time purchase you keep and own — the structured binder between a blank spreadsheet and a dealer's app that only knows the one car they sold you.
A record you keep for your own vehicles, not legal, financial, insurance, or mechanical advice, and not a substitute for your owner's manual or a qualified mechanic. Confirm renewal requirements with your state or province. Check recalls for your own VIN free at nhtsa.gov/recalls. The example data is clearly fictional. Free to use; please don't resell or redistribute.
