Insurance Companies

Quote, underwrite, and settle claims with confidence. Verified vehicle identity, risk data, and specifications - delivered via real-time API at every stage of the policy lifecycle.

InfoAgent gives insurers API access to verified Australian vehicle data at every stage of the policy lifecycle - from the initial quote through to underwriting, claims assessment, total loss settlement, and renewal.

BOOK A DEMO

Step 1

Customer enters a rego plate or VIN in your quote form, claims portal, or internal system

Step 2

InfoAgent returns verified identity, specifications, risk flags, PPSR status, and enrichment data in < 300ms

Step 3

Your system pre-fills the application, prices the risk accurately, and flags issues before they become claims

One lookup. Vehicle identity. Risk flags surfaced. Specifications confirmed. Your underwriting, pricing, and claims decisions are grounded in data you can trust - not what the customer typed into a form.

What Data Is Available?

Our API returns the verified vehicle data that insurers need across the full policy lifecycle:

Confirmed make, model, series, variant, trim, and body type. The exact vehicle - not a broad category - is the basis for every accurate premium calculation.

VIN Verification

Cross-check the VIN against NEVDIS records. Detects mismatches, tampering, and cloned identities - the first line of defence against vehicle fraud.

WOVR records including damage codes and statutory vs repairable classification. Must be checked at underwriting and again at claims to prevent insuring or paying out on compromised assets.

Flags from the national stolen vehicle register, including report date, jurisdiction, and summary. Catches stolen vehicles before a policy is issued.

Existing security interests registered against the vehicle. Essential before settling total loss claims - if a secured party has a registered interest, payout obligations change.

Current registration, expiry date, and jurisdiction. CTP insurance is closely tied to registration. Confirms the vehicle is road-legal and identifies the governing state.

Where the vehicle is officially registered - suburb and state. Supports risk zone assessment, regional pricing models, and fraud detection workflows.

Build & Compliance Dates

Year of manufacture vs compliance plate date. Affects depreciation curves, sum insured calculations, and vehicle age brackets in pricing models.

Safety system presence per vehicle - Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), lane assist, blind spot monitoring, and more. Vehicles with ADAS have different accident profiles and significantly different repair costs.

Battery capacity, type, range, plug configuration, and charging speeds. The battery alone can account for 40–50% of an EV’s value - and its repair and replacement dynamics are fundamentally different from ICE vehicles.

Market value and projected residual. Supports sum insured validation, total loss assessment, and salvage value estimation.

Exact colour data for repair accuracy. Helps assessors validate repair scopes and detect previous panel work or resprays not captured in official records.

Need a different combination of fields? A custom response format? Data bundled differently for your workflow? We're built to adapt.

All data is queryable by rego, VIN, or chassis number. Combine multiple datasets in a single API call. Batch processing is available for portfolio audits, book reviews, and bulk risk screening.

In Practice

Here’s how a single rego or VIN lookup transforms common interactions:

Workflow

Without

InfoAgent

With

InfoAgent

Online quote

Underwriting

Windscreen claim

Total loss payout

Renewal

Fraud investigation

Customer manually enters make, model, year, engine. 40% drop off before completing the form. Those who finish often enter incorrect details. Premiums are mis-rated.

Application accepted based on customer-declared details. Vehicle later found to be a different variant with higher risk profile. Premium was under-rated.

Claim authorised for standard replacement. Assessor doesn’t know the vehicle has Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) and lane assist cameras behind the windscreen. Calibration not included. Vehicle returned with non-functional safety systems.

Vehicle declared total loss. Payout processed. Finance company contacts insurer — they had a registered security interest on the PPSR. Dispute follows.

Renewal notice sent with vehicle details from original application. Customer’s vehicle was replaced 8 months ago. Policy covers the wrong car.

Claim submitted on a vehicle described as a 2021 X5. Investigation reveals VIN belongs to a written-off 2019 X3. Fraud detected too late - resources already spent.

Customer enters rego. Form pre-fills with verified vehicle details in under a second. Accurate quote delivered instantly. Conversion improves. Premiums reflect the actual vehicle.

Vehicle identity verified against NEVDIS at point of application. Correct variant, engine, and specifications confirmed. Underwriting decision is based on verified data.

ADAS lookup confirms AEB, lane assist, and forward-facing camera. Repair scope includes calibration. Claim authorised accurately. Vehicle returned with all safety systems operational.

PPSR check run before payout. Existing security interest identified. Secured party notified. Payout handled correctly from the start.

Registration status check at renewal confirms current vehicle details. Policy updated to reflect the actual asset. Coverage is accurate.

VIN verification at first notice of loss detects mismatch against NEVDIS records. Write-off history flagged. Claim escalated immediately. Resources preserved.

In every scenario: the data was either there at the decision point, or it wasn’t. The difference is measurable in loss ratios, claims leakage, customer experience, and fraud exposure.

Use Cases

Here’s how insurers use InfoAgent across the full policy lifecycle:

Quoting & New Business

The quoting experience is the first impression - and often the last, if it’s too slow or asks the customer for information they don’t have. A rego lookup that pre-fills the form and delivers an accurate quote in seconds is a competitive advantage.

  • Pre-fill quote forms with verified vehicle details from a single rego lookup - reduce the number of fields customers need to complete

  • Identify the exact variant, not just the model - so the premium reflects the actual vehicle, not a broad approximation

  • Flag write-off and stolen status at the point of quote - decline or adjust before binding, not after a claim

  • Retrieve EV battery capacity and charging data to price electric vehicle policies with the specificity they require

  • Reduce form abandonment and improve conversion by replacing manual data entry with instant vehicle identification

Underwriting & Risk Assessment

Accurate underwriting depends on knowing exactly what the vehicle is, what risk factors exist, and whether the information on the application matches reality.

  • Verify vehicle identity against NEVDIS to confirm the asset matches the application

  • Cross-check VIN against official records to detect cloning, re-birthing, or identity fraud

  • Run stolen and write-off checks to identify vehicles with compromised histories before accepting the risk

  • Access detailed specifications to classify vehicles accurately within your pricing tiers

  • Use registration locality to apply geographic risk factors and validate the customer’s declared location

  • Factor ADAS presence into risk models - vehicles with autonomous emergency braking have demonstrably different accident rates

Claims Assessment & Settlement

When a claim arrives, the accuracy of the vehicle data on the policy determines how quickly and accurately you can assess it. Gaps in that data create delays, disputes, and overpayments.

  • Verify vehicle identity at first notice of loss - confirm the vehicle presented matches the vehicle on the policy

  • Check PPSR for existing security interests before settling total loss claims - if a secured party is registered, payout obligations may change

  • Access ADAS data to validate repair scope and calibration charges - know what safety systems the vehicle has before authorising the repair

  • Retrieve OEM paint codes for accurate repair cost estimation and quality assurance

  • Use valuation data to support total loss determinations and salvage value assessments

  • Check warranty status to determine whether the repair should be covered under manufacturer warranty before the insurance claim is processed

Total Loss, Salvage & Recovery

Total loss events require precise data: what the vehicle is worth, who has a financial interest in it, and whether the identity has been compromised.

  • Confirm vehicle identity and specifications for accurate market value assessment

  • Run PPSR checks to identify secured parties before releasing payouts

  • Verify write-off classification - statutory vs repairable - to determine salvage and WOVR notification requirements

  • Access build dates and specifications to support depreciation and residual value calculations

  • Use registration locality to coordinate recovery logistics and state-based compliance

CTP Insurance & Renewals

Compulsory Third Party insurance is directly tied to vehicle registration. Accurate, current registration data keeps your book aligned and your renewals timely.

  • Confirm registration status and expiry date to align CTP coverage with the vehicle’s registration lifecycle

  • Verify vehicle class and jurisdiction for accurate CTP pricing and compliance

  • Detect registration lapses that may indicate uninsured exposure in your portfolio

  • Support renewal workflows with up-to-date vehicle details that don’t require customer re-entry

  • Batch-check registration status across your entire book to identify vehicles with lapsed or cancelled registration

Fraud Detection & Prevention

Vehicle fraud costs the Australian insurance industry hundreds of millions each year. The patterns are well-known - and the data to catch them is available in real time.

  • Flag stolen vehicles at the point of quote or claim - before a policy is issued or a payout is made

  • Detect VIN mismatches that indicate cloning or re-birthing - the VIN on the vehicle doesn’t match the VIN registered with NEVDIS

  • Identify disguised write-offs - statutory write-offs that have been cosmetically repaired and presented as clean vehicles

  • Cross-check registration locality against the claimed location to detect geographic inconsistencies

  • Maintain structured, timestamped data records that support investigations and regulatory reporting

Fleet & Commercial Vehicle Insurance

Insuring commercial fleets involves vehicle populations that are larger, more diverse, and harder to verify than personal lines. InfoAgent data scales to meet that challenge.

  • Onboard fleet vehicles with verified specs and risk data from a single lookup per vehicle

  • Run batch risk screens across entire fleet portfolios at inception, renewal, or on a scheduled basis

  • Access GVM, GCM, and axle configuration data for accurate heavy vehicle pricing

  • Track ADAS features across a fleet to assess collective safety profile and adjust pricing accordingly

  • Retrieve EV and charging data for fleet policies covering electric and hybrid vehicles

  • Monitor registration status across multi-state fleet operations to identify lapsed or cancelled coverage
