What Is a Monroney Sticker?
The Monroney sticker is named after U.S. Senator Almer Stillwell "Mike" Monroney, who sponsored the Automobile Information Disclosure Act of 1958. The law requires new vehicles sold in the U.S. to display specific pricing and specification information on a window label before sale. "Monroney sticker," "Monroney label," and "window sticker" all refer to the same document.
What's on a Monroney Sticker
A Monroney sticker is built from a standard set of fields, though not every sticker includes every one — the exact contents depend on the manufacturer, model year, and vehicle type.
- Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)
- Destination charge
- Factory-installed options and their individual prices
- Standard equipment
- EPA fuel economy ratings
- Vehicle specifications, including engine and drivetrain
Monroney Sticker by VIN
Looking up a Monroney sticker by VIN starts with the vehicle's 17-character VIN. Enter it on our VIN lookup tool and we'll take you to our partner, MonroneyDecals.com, with the VIN filled in.
The original Monroney sticker is a separate record that's usually only kept by the manufacturer or the selling dealer, not in public VIN databases. That's why we hand you off to MonroneyDecals.com, which handles retrieving it.
Original vs. Reproduction
The original Monroney sticker is the physical label that shipped on the vehicle's window from the factory — most owners don't keep it once the vehicle is sold or registered. What's typically available afterward is a reproduction: a recreated Monroney label, built from the vehicle's original build data for that specific VIN. Reproductions are what services like MonroneyDecals.com provide, and are useful for the same purposes as the original — verifying factory options, confirming MSRP, or documentation for a sale.
