Vahan (Vehicle RC) API Integration
Fetch Registration Certificate details for any vehicle from the national Vahan database.
What Vahan (Vehicle RC) API integration does
Vahan is MoRTH's national vehicle registration database, and integration returns Registration Certificate details for any vehicle from its registration number — vehicle particulars, registration status and owner information subject to applicable masking rules.
Wherever a vehicle is the subject of a transaction, this is the authoritative source. Insurers price motor policies against verified vehicle details instead of customer-entered make and model. Lenders confirm ownership and status before financing a vehicle. Fleets and mobility marketplaces validate that a vehicle presented for onboarding is real, currently registered and matches the documents supplied. In each case, resolving from the registration number is both faster for the customer and harder to game than accepting a photograph of an RC book.
