With Verifik, your company can consult and validate vehicle registration documents in seconds using automated analysis, access to official sources (depending on the country), and anti-fraud technology designed for KYC processes, logistics, insurance, and mobility.

Depending on the country, registration numbers may include:

Alphanumeric combinations Regional codes Special formats for taxis, public transport, diplomatic vehicles, rental cars, etc. Temporary or official license plates Colors differentiated by use or category

What information can be accessed with a registration number?​

A license plate allows access to key data such as:

Current Owner's Name Previous Owners Make, Model, Color, and Features Registration Status Mandatory Insurance Status Technical Inspection or Vehicle Inspection Theft Reports or Recoveries Liens, Liens, or Restrictions Vehicle History
