## What the Vehicle RC API does

Vehicle RC returns the detailed registration record for a vehicle: specifications, ownership, insurance particulars and permit details as held by the transport department.

This is the comprehensive vehicle lookup. For used-vehicle transactions and motor underwriting it supplies the whole picture in one call, rather than assembling it from the seller's paperwork and hoping it is complete.

## Where teams use the Vehicle RC API

1.  Due diligence before a used-vehicle purchase
    
2.  Motor insurance underwriting
    
3.  Verifying ownership before vehicle finance
    
4.  Confirming permits for commercial vehicles
    

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Which RC endpoint should I use?

Vehicle RC for the detailed record, RC V2 for standard verification, RC Advanced for the fullest set including additional vehicle details.

Does it show insurance status?

Insurance particulars are included where the transport database holds them, though currency varies.

Can I search without the registration number?

Yes. Chassis To RC and Engine to RC Details resolve a vehicle from its physical identifiers.
