Unlock a Wealth of Data in V5C Vehicle Registration Documents

Every V5C vehicle registration document contains dozens of critical automotive data points that organizations desperately need—vehicle identification numbers, make and model details, registration dates, keeper information, engine specifications, tax class data, and MOT expiry dates—yet most organizations across industries still rely on painfully manual processes that consume 20-35 minutes per document review, create massive operational bottlenecks, and leave dangerous room for fraud detection failures. From automotive dealerships losing sales while conducting lengthy vehicle verification, to insurance companies struggling with policy underwriting delays, to fleet management firms chasing incomplete vehicle documentation, the cost of manual V5C processing extends far beyond wasted time—it directly impacts customer experience, risk assessment accuracy, and operational efficiency.

Veryfi’s V5C OCR API transforms this broken process by instantly extracting structured, actionable vehicle data from physical V5C documents and digital copies with 99%+ accuracy, eliminating the need for manual transcription, DVLA verification calls, and the endless document validation that stalls critical business transactions. Whether you’re processing dozens of vehicle registrations daily or thousands, our advanced machine learning technology scales effortlessly to turn V5C documents into instant automotive intelligence, helping forward-thinking organizations across every vertical—from car dealerships ensuring accurate vehicle history verification to insurance underwriters monitoring vehicle specifications—stop losing time and money to document processing delays and start gaining the competitive advantage that comes from real-time, automated vehicle data extraction.
