Vehicle Registration Reports

Personal Auto

Vehicle Registration Reports give you vehicle registration and title information that your customers may not enter on the insurance application. The reports can be crucial in properly assessing an automobile risk. The system delivers the reports instantly to aid in the automobile underwriting process. ISO Passport® lets you use any of the following information as search criteria:

• vehicle identification number (VIN)

• surname/address

• license plate

Search results may vary depending on the search criteria you use. For example, if you search by surname and address, you'll receive information on every vehicle at that risk location. Reports may also differ depending on the state where the owner registered the vehicle. Generally, you will receive the following information:

• vehicle year, make, model, body style, and VIN

• name and complete address of the individual who registered the vehicle

• name of a cosigner or second owner, if applicable

• expiration date of the registration

• plate type, such as regular, vanity, dealer, or commercial

• name of the leasing company, if applicable

• whether the vehicle has a "branded" title, indicating an unusual condition in the vehicle's history (junked, salvaged, flooded, and so on.)

Vehicle Registration Reports are available in all states except Arizona, Arkansas, California, Hawaii, Indiana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington.
