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.

What is a vehicle registration?​

A vehicle registration number is a unique code assigned by the transit authority of each country. Its function is to: i) Officially identify the vehicle, ii) Associate it with an owner or entity, iii) Record its legal and technical status, iv) Facilitate administrative and traffic controls.

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

  • Current Owner's Name
  • Previous Owners
  • Make, Model, Color, and Features
  • Registration Status
