RUNT - Vehicle Records by Plate Only

Query official RUNT vehicle information using only the license plate. Unlike Vehicle records by plate, this endpoint does not require the owner's documentType or documentNumber.

Use it when you need name, technical, and status blocks for a Colombian plate without an owner document on hand.

What this API returns

• informacionGeneral — plate, brand, line, model, class, service, status, and registration fields when present
• datosTecnicos — technical fields when present
• Time-bound blocks such as soat[] and tecnoMecanica[] when present
• Other RUNT vehicle blocks (solicitudes, polizasResponsabilidadCivil, and similar) when the source includes them
• documentType and documentNumber may be null
• A signed Verifik response

Notes

• The AppFeature code is colombia_api_runt_vehicle_by_plate_only.
• This route is the plate-only sibling of GET /v2/co/runt/vehicle-by-plate. It does not accept owner documentType or documentNumber.
• documentType and documentNumber on the payload may be null.
• Name, technical, and status blocks are returned when present; empty arrays or objects mean that section had no rows.
• Sandbox plates AA123BA and ABC10001–ABC10010 return stable 200s. ERR40401 returns 404 NotFound.
• 409 is used for validation errors and when the service is temporarily unavailable.
