About Ford Digital Service Records
Since around 2012, Ford dealerships have recorded all service work digitally in the manufacturer's central database. This means your Ford's complete service history is stored electronically and linked to your vehicle's VIN, replacing the traditional paper service book that could be lost, damaged, or forged. Learn what counts as full service history (FSH) in our full service history guide.
These Ford digital service records are more reliable than paper stamps because they're tamper-proof and permanently tied to your vehicle. ServiceStamp retrieves these official records directly from Ford's dealer network, giving you verified proof of your car's maintenance history. Learn more about digital service books.
