# Vehicle RC Verification

> Use the Cashfree Vehicle RC Verification API to confirm registration, ownership, chassis, and insurance details for any motor vehicle registered in India.

The Vehicle RC (Registration Certificate) Verification API enables businesses to confirm the authenticity and status of any registered motor vehicle in India. By providing a vehicle registration number, you can retrieve complete details directly from official transport databases, including information about the vehicle owner, chassis and engine numbers, model, date of registration, and insurance records.

This solution helps streamline onboarding, risk checks, and compliance for businesses dealing with vehicles, making it easy to validate ownership, track vehicle status, and access technical and insurance related information.

## Verification process

You can verify Vehicle RC details through two primary methods:

* **Merchant dashboard**: Verify Vehicle RCs using manual entry or document upload.
  * Manual verification: Enter vehicle registration number to validate against transport authority records
  * Smart OCR: Upload RC document images for automatic data extraction and verification
* **REST API**: Integrate verification directly into your applications.
