Stolen Vehicle Data
Check whether a vehicle has been reported stolen on the national register, including the report date, jurisdiction, and police reference details. Sourced from NEVDIS, delivered via a real-time API.
Whether the vehicle is currently reported stolen on the national register. The primary flag your workflow needs to detect.
Report Date
When the stolen report was lodged with police. Establishes the timeline and helps determine whether the theft occurred before or after a transaction.
Jurisdiction
The state or territory where the theft was reported. Relevant for cross-border checks and determining which police authority holds the case.
Police Reference
The police report reference number associated with the stolen vehicle record. Allows your team to follow up directly with the relevant authority if further investigation is required.
Summary Details
Additional descriptive information recorded against the stolen report where available.
Make, model, year, body type, VIN, and chassis number. Returned alongside stolen status to confirm the vehicle being checked matches the vehicle on the register.
Current registration status and expiry. A stolen vehicle with active registration may indicate it hasn’t yet been flagged by the registered operator - or that the theft is recent.
All data is delivered via secure API in structured JSON.
Use Cases
Stolen vehicle data is critical for any business that transacts, insures, finances, or manages vehicles. Here’s how different sectors use stolen vehicle data via InfoAgent:
Insurance Providers
A stolen vehicle check at the point of quote prevents issuing a policy on a vehicle that’s already been reported stolen. At the claims stage, it detects fraudulent claims involving vehicles with active theft reports. Embed stolen checks into your quoting, underwriting, and claims workflows to close one of the most common fraud vectors in motor insurance.
Finance Companies
Lending against a stolen vehicle is a total loss. The asset will be seized, the security interest is unrecoverable, and the lender bears the full exposure. A stolen vehicle check should be a mandatory step in every origination workflow - before finance is approved and before a PPSR registration is lodged.
Car Dealers & OEMs
A stolen vehicle entering your yard as a trade-in is a legal and financial liability from the moment you take possession. Run a stolen check before accepting any trade-in, before purchasing at auction, and before listing any vehicle for sale. The check takes less than a second and prevents a problem that can take months to resolve.
Car History Reports
Stolen vehicle status is one of the most critical flags in any vehicle history report. Consumers expect it, businesses rely on it, and a report without it fails to deliver the confidence buyers are paying for. Our API returns stolen status, report date, jurisdiction, and police reference - ready for your report front end.
Go Beyond Stolen Vehicle Checks
A stolen vehicle check is one layer of a comprehensive risk screen. Because InfoAgent aggregates multiple data sources into a single API, you can combine stolen checks with any of the following in the same call:
Check for registered security interests and financial encumbrances. A stolen vehicle with an active PPSR registration creates complex multi-party liability.
Full vehicle identity, VIN verification, and registration details. Confirms the vehicle is what it claims to be - and catches VIN cloning, where a stolen vehicle is given the identity of a legitimate one.
Current registration, expiry date, and jurisdiction. Cross-referencing stolen status with registration data can reveal anomalies.
Where the vehicle is officially registered. A stolen vehicle registered in one state but located in another may indicate cross-border movement.
Detailed make, model, variant, engine, and body type data. Supports identity verification and helps detect mismatches that may indicate cloning or rebirthing.
Market value data. A vehicle flagged as stolen has no legitimate sale value - but valuation data helps assess the exposure if the vehicle was transacted before the flag was detected.
One API. One integration.
Run a comprehensive risk screen in a single call - stolen, write-off, PPSR, registration, identity, and valuation together.
