How VeriCore's VAHAN Verification API Works

Step 3: Receive Vehicle Details

Get the available vehicle information in a structured JSON response, including supported registration and vehicle specification fields.

What Businesses Should Know Before Integrating a VAHAN API

Manual vehicle registration checks can delay verification and lead to errors in vehicle records. VeriCore’s VAHAN Verification API helps businesses retrieve available vehicle details using a registration number, making it easier to verify information within their existing systems.

Vehicle Record Availability

The VAHAN system contains vehicle registration records from participating transport authorities. However, an API lookup may not return complete information for every registration number. A record can be unavailable or incomplete. Applications should account for this when deciding how to handle a verification result.

Supported Vehicle Data Fields

The information required by one business may differ from that required by another. For example, a fleet application may depend on fitness validity dates, while an insurance platform may primarily need vehicle specifications. Before integration, review the available response fields against your application's requirements.

Handling Missing Information

A successful API response does not necessarily mean that every requested field has been returned. If an application relies on insurance validity, it should have a process for handling records where that field is unavailable.

Vehicle Owner Information and Data Access

Vehicle records may contain personal information. Access to that information is restricted according to the applicable permissions and legal requirements. Businesses should request the information necessary for their permitted use case and follow the applicable data-handling requirements.

Compliance & Data Risk

Poor data handling creates exposure. The API uses encrypted, consent-based access.
