## What the OCR RC API does

OCR RC reads a vehicle registration certificate and returns the registration number, owner details, chassis and engine numbers, fuel type, vehicle class and validity dates.

Chassis and engine numbers are long alphanumeric strings that people routinely mis-key. Extracting them from the certificate is both faster and considerably more accurate than manual entry.

## Where teams use the OCR RC API

1.  Onboarding vehicles for insurance or finance
    
2.  Capturing vehicle details during a used-vehicle sale
    
3.  Reading chassis and engine numbers without transcription errors
    
4.  Digitising RC copies in a fleet document archive
    

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Does it verify the vehicle with the transport department?

No. Use Vehicle RC or RC Advanced to confirm the extracted registration number against official records.

Does it handle both card and paper RCs?

Yes, though newer smart cards read more consistently than older laminated paper certificates.

Can I go from chassis number to RC?

Yes. Chassis To RC resolves a chassis number to the registration details.
