Transport API integration with Vahan and Sarathi
Fetch vehicle Registration Certificate details from the national Vahan database and verify driving licences through Sarathi — vehicle and driver verification as an API.
Mobility & transport integrations
2 resultsFetch Registration Certificate details for any vehicle from the national Vahan database.
Verify a Driving Licence number and retrieve validity and vehicle-class endorsements.
Any business that puts a vehicle or a driver on the road carries a verification obligation: insurers pricing motor risk, fleets onboarding owner-drivers, marketplaces vetting delivery partners, lenders financing a vehicle. Doing it from photographs of an RC book and a licence card is slow and trivially forged.
Our transport API integration reads from the source. Vahan returns Registration Certificate details for any vehicle from the national MoRTH database — make, model, registration date, owner and status. Sarathi verifies a driving licence number and returns validity plus the vehicle classes the holder is actually endorsed for, which is the check most manual processes skip and most incidents later hinge on.
What you can build with transport APIs
Driver onboarding in minutes
Verify the licence number, confirm it is currently valid and check the endorsed vehicle classes before a partner is allowed to accept their first trip.
Motor insurance quoting
Resolve vehicle details from the registration number to price a policy accurately without asking the customer to type in make, model and variant.
Fleet compliance monitoring
Re-verify registration and licence status across a fleet on a schedule so an expired document is caught before a vehicle is dispatched.
Vehicle-backed lending
Confirm ownership and registration status from Vahan as part of underwriting a vehicle loan or a refinancing application.

Frequently asked questions
What data does the Vahan RC lookup return?
Registration Certificate details held in the national Vahan database, resolved by registration number — including vehicle particulars, registration status and owner information subject to the applicable masking rules.
Does Sarathi confirm which vehicles a driver may operate?
Yes. Alongside validity, the response includes the vehicle-class endorsements on the licence, which is what tells you whether a driver is legally permitted to operate the specific vehicle you are assigning.
Are these rails suitable for high-volume marketplaces?
Yes, and that is the common use case. Throughput is agreed during onboarding and the connectors are built for batch re-verification as well as at-signup checks.
