I know for years that Toyota put the key code on the passenger lock cylinder. Is this the case on a 95? My orginal key is worn to the point that when I get it copied the new key doesn't work.

The key code is stamped on the side of the passenger door key cylinder (USPS).
Raven is also correct. In order to use that method you will need to present proof of ownership of the vehicle and photo ID that matches it.

I just had two made myself. You will need proof of ownership with the vin on it and photo id. I used my registration and DL. Thats what my local dealer required anyway. Dan beat me to the punch.

CDan, I have been out of the fixed ops side for awhile but I know here in SET, we keep key codes for 5 years in our system. After that the PM has to call Torrance and they issue the code via open CR contact. Does the newer key systems have the codes stored by vin? I am just curious at this point.
We can pull codes through Dealer Daily. Some vehicle records go back to 1990.
FWIW, I'm a locksmith, any good locksmith in your area should be able to decode your worn key a cut a new one back to factory spec, providing they have a hpc blitz machine. If you got the car new it would have come with a small metal tab with #s on it. That group of numbers can be used by a locksmith to retrieve bitting information, i hope this helps. My 2c
