The complete past, from a plate
From a simple license plate, the search reveals the complete history of a used vehicle, with no need for the VIN. Accidents, mileage, title status, and theft records: the plate is linked to the identification number, then cross-referenced with our sources across 32+ countries.
Reported collisions and claims, major repairs: what a listing and a photo never show.
Successive readings and detected inconsistencies to spot a tampered odometer from the plate.
Salvage, flood, rebuilt vehicle: title status is a strong signal about value and safety.
The plate is cross-referenced with databases of stolen vehicles, in France and abroad.
The VIN works too
The 17 characters on the windshield or the registration document are enough to check the vehicle title.
Why search by plate
A license-plate search lets you trace a vehicle's history without knowing its VIN. By linking the plate to the identification number, CarJudge reconstructs the past of any used car — accidents, mileage, title, theft — across 32+ countries. Ideal when all you have in front of you is a plate.
Many used-car listings don't show the VIN. With just the plate, you check the history before even contacting the seller.
A car you like in a parking lot or on the street? Note its plate and get its history in 60 seconds.
Generate the report from the plate to prove a clean history and sell faster, at the best price.
Review the records tied to your plate (title, mileage, claims) to spot any anomaly.
