Vehicle Plate Decoder

The Vehicle Plate Decoder API provides access to a library of vehicle's data based on the vehicle's registration/license plate number and state.


The Vehicle Plate Decoder API looks up the vehicle through the database for matches and returns the VIN, make, model and year among other attributes. It can be coupled with other APIs to become even more powerful. The state is a two letter abbreviation of one of the 50 states, or District of Columbia (DC), Guam (GU), Puerto Rico (PR) or Virgin Islands (VI).

International support for license plate decoding includes the following countries: Australia (AU), Brazil (BR), Denmark (DK), Finland (FI), France (FR), Germany (DE), India (IN), Ireland (IE), Isle of Man (IM), Italy (IT), Spain (ES), Mexico (MX), New Zealand (NZ), Singapore (SG), South Africa (ZA), The Netherlands (NL) and United Kingdom (GB).

All requests are made with plate, country (optional for US) and state (if applicable ex. for US, AU, CA, etc). Response attributes vary by country but consistently include description, make, model, and registration_year.
