Questions

What the certificate covers, and what it doesn't.

About the check

01

What does a CERTANTO certificate check?

Whether the VIN is reported stolen in US stolen vehicle records and in insurance theft claims, at the moment the check runs.

02

Which vehicles can be checked?

Any vehicle with a 17 character VIN. That covers almost every car, truck and SUV built for the US market since 1981.

03

Is this a full vehicle history report?

No. It answers one question: is the vehicle reported stolen. Title, odometer, and salvage and total loss history are available as an add on for $24.99.

Scope and limits

04

Does a clean certificate guarantee the vehicle was never stolen?

No. It shows that no theft record was found in the sources listed at the date and time of issue. A theft can be reported after the check, or may never have been reported at all.

05

How long is a certificate good for?

The certificate is a record of one moment in time and does not expire. If more than 30 days have passed, we recommend running a new check before you complete the purchase.

Using the certificate

06

How does someone confirm my certificate is real?

They scan the QR code on the certificate or enter the certificate number at certanto.com. Verifying is free and needs no account.

07

Is the certificate available in Spanish?

Yes. Every certificate can be downloaded in English or Spanish at no extra cost.

08

Can I print it?

Yes. It is designed to print clearly in black and white on letter or A4 paper.

If the result is stolen

09

What should I do if the vehicle is reported stolen?

Do not complete the purchase and do not move the vehicle. Contact local police or the authorities in your country, and keep the certificate as a record of the result.
