Plate Lookup

Vehicle details from a plate or VIN

Plate Lookup helps drivers, buyers, dealers, fleet teams, and insurance workers research a vehicle from an Android phone. Enter a license plate number or VIN to pull together identification details, vehicle specifications, history records, recalls, and pricing information in one place. That makes it useful when checking a used car, reviewing a vehicle for work, or preparing information before a sale.

Search, scan, and review

The app supports camera-based scanning for license plates and VINs, reducing the need to type long strings of characters by hand. Search results can include previous sales information, salvage records, title brands, active recalls, fuel economy, towing capacity, and other specifications. Market valuation data gives users another reference point when comparing a vehicle with similar listings or discussing its price.

Useful for inspection work

Plate Lookup also includes a visual damage tool for marking dents, scratches, and collision damage on a vehicle diagram. This can help create a clearer inspection record for adjusters, detailers, dealers, or private buyers. The app is best suited to people who need more than basic plate identification and want vehicle history, specifications, and condition notes together.
