Vehicle Lookup APILook Up Any Indian Registration Number from ₹1.5
Look up and verify any vehicle from its registration number
One registration number in, the full vehicle record out.
The RTO Sarthi vehicle lookup API looks up any Indian registration number and returns the vehicle record as JSON in seconds: status, RTO, owner, maker and model, chassis and engine number, insurance, PUC, fitness, tax, financer, blacklist and NOC, from ₹1.5 per successful lookup.
Before you insure, finance, buy, rent out or let in a vehicle, you need to know that it is what the customer says it is. Is the registration active? Does the chassis number match? Is it financed or blacklisted? Checking this by hand for every vehicle does not scale.
The RTO Sarthi vehicle lookup API does the check inside your software. Send the registration number and get the vehicle record back: status, registering RTO, owner and owner serial number, maker and model, chassis and engine number, registration validity, insurance, PUC, fitness and tax, financer, blacklist and NOC. It works for every state of India and starts at ₹1.5 per successful lookup.
Need only the make and model? See the vehicle make and model API. Need insurance status? See the vehicle insurance API. For every field, see the Vahan API page.
RTO Sarthi is an independent private software company. It is not the Vahan or Parivahan portal and is not affiliated with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways or NIC.
