VIN lien & theft screening
Know the vehicle before you buy it.
Screen a VIN against lien- and theft-related data sources and get a report that states exactly what its data covers — and what it cannot. Findings reflect only the data returned for your request, never a guarantee about the vehicle itself.
Professional lien and theft screening from $7. Business plans from $15/month, plus $2.20 per successfully completed VIN.
- Consumer reports from $7
- Business usage $2.20/check
- Secure account access
Secure checkout
Payment happens on Stripe's hosted checkout. Card details never touch our servers.
Data-based screening
Findings reflect the data returned for your specific request, with the scope and limitations stated on every report.
Secure report access
Reports open through private access links issued to you — never public pages.
Built for business
Dealer accounts add team access, report history, and per-check usage tracking.
Three steps
How it works
-
Enter the VIN
Free format validation of the 17-character VIN. No vehicle history sources are queried and nothing is stored.
-
Choose a package
Prices are set on our servers; card entry happens on Stripe's hosted checkout. We never see or store card details.
-
Receive secure access
A private access link is delivered when your report is ready. Some reports require additional processing time.
Inside the report
What a VIN check can show you
Lien-related records
Lien records returned by our data sources for the VIN, presented with the recorded details where the source provides them.
Theft-related screening
Screening against the theft-related data made available to us. Every result states the scope of the data that was checked.
Vehicle information
Identity details decoded from the VIN you submit, so you can confirm the vehicle in front of you matches its paperwork.
Limitations, stated plainly
Every report carries its limitations statement, and some findings require manual review before delivery. The absence of a record in returned data is never proof that no record exists.

Straight answers about scope
A VIN check is a limited data screening — useful, fast, and honest about what it is not.
What our reports are — and are not
They are vehicle history screening reports built from the data returned by our data providers for a specific VIN at the time of the request. Every report states its data limitations, and findings always reflect only the data returned — never a guarantee about the vehicle itself.
They are not title documents, legal advice, or proof of ownership, and they do not replace verification with a titling authority, law-enforcement agency, or DMV. The absence of a record in returned data is never proof that no record exists.
