What You Can Verify

A single API call can return everything you need to confirm the vehicle’s identity and populate your systems with accurate, standardised data:

Data Point

What It Tells You

VIN Verification

Cross-check the VIN against official NEVDIS records - confirm it’s valid, matches the plate, and hasn’t been cloned

Make, Model & Variant

Exact manufacturer details including series, grade, and trim - not just a broad model name

Body Type & Configuration

Vehicle format, doors, seating capacity - critical for parts matching, quoting, and compliance

Build & Compliance Dates

Year of manufacture vs compliance plate date - a common mismatch that affects valuations, insurance, and reporting

Engine & Drivetrain

Cylinders, displacement, fuel type, power output, transmission, drive type

Colour

Name, Paint code, Paint type via OEM.

Weights

GVM, GCM, and tare mass - essential for heavy vehicles, fleet compliance, and transport operations

Registration Status

Whether the vehicle is currently registered, its expiry date, and the jurisdiction

Registration Locality

Where the vehicle is officially registered - suburb and state

And because InfoAgent aggregates data from multiple sources - NEVDIS, PPSR, industry datasets, and more - you can enrich the identity check with stolen status, write-off history, PPSR encumbrances, ADAS features, EV data, warranty status, and OEM paint codes. All from the same API call.

Who Uses Vehicle Identity & Verification?

Vehicle identity is a horizontal use case - it cuts across almost every industry that touches vehicles. Here’s how different sectors use it:

Automotive Software & Platforms

Auto-populate vehicle records in DMS, workshop, quoting, and marketplace systems. A rego lookup replaces manual data entry, reduces errors, and gives users accurate vehicle details instantly.

Pre-fill forms, listings, and records with verified specs
Improve search, filter, and matching accuracy
Reduce support tickets caused by wrong vehicle data

Car Dealers & OEMs

Dealers have obligations under consumer protection law to disclose known vehicle history. They also need accurate data for VFACTS reporting, finance documentation, and trade-in verification.

Confirm write-off and stolen status before selling or taking a vehicle on trade
Ensure VFACTS sales data is submitted with correct make, model, and variant details
Run PPSR checks to verify no existing encumbrances before completing a sale
Maintain accurate stock records that match the actual vehicles on the lot

Insurance Providers

Accurate vehicle identity is the foundation of accurate underwriting. Confirm the vehicle’s exact make, model, variant, and configuration before issuing a quote - and verify it again at the claims stage.

Pre-fill policy applications with verified vehicle details
Reduce mis-rated policies caused by incorrect vehicle classification
Validate vehicle identity at first notice of loss

Finance Companies

Before lending against a vehicle, confirm exactly what the asset is. Verify VIN, confirm specifications, and ensure the vehicle details in your system match the official record.

Validate asset identity before finance approval
Populate loan documentation with verified, standardised data
Support accurate PPSR registrations with correct vehicle descriptions

Parts Suppliers & Repairers

Match the right part to the right vehicle - without relying on customers to know their VIN. A rego lookup returns the exact make, model, variant, body type, and engine configuration.

Reduce wrong-part returns and incorrect quotes
Speed up customer interactions at the counter or online
Support fitment accuracy across passenger, commercial, and motorcycle catalogues

Fleet Operators & Leasing Companies

Onboard fleet vehicles instantly and maintain clean records across the lifecycle. Verified identity data ensures compliance, supports accurate maintenance scheduling, and streamlines disposal.

Populate fleet management systems with a single rego lookup
Maintain accurate asset registers without manual verification
Support vehicle audits with verified, timestamped data

Government & Law Enforcement

Identify vehicles quickly and accurately for roadside checks, investigations, transport regulation, and administrative processes.

Verify vehicle identity in real time by rego, VIN, or chassis number
Cross-reference identity data to detect cloned or re-birthed vehicles
Support inter-jurisdictional vehicle identification across all states and territories
