   I'm not sure why you are arguing with me. We "match" the plate to a VIN, and then we DECODE the VIN to get all of the data we show on the page. Yes, we decode the VIN, not just "match" it

   You can decode VIN data pretty easily, but the APIs that match a Plate to a VIN charge a fee for each lookup

   Sorry, I missed this comment before replying to your email, that's interesting about the difference in check digit! I will definitely look into supporting more VINs

   The plate is matched with a VIN using DMV records, and then we decode the VIN to show Make, Model, Year, etc

   The plate is matched with a VIN using DMV records, which we then decode, to get the Make, Model, etc as you described.

   There are a few different APIs that provide basic Plate to VIN matching. No other data is provided, the rest comes from the VIN decoding itself

    This error means it failed a basic Vin check. VINs have a check digit and a few other requirements, and if it fails we return that error. Do you have a VIN that you think is vaild? Let me know and I can check the exact issue - mail@checka

    It's crazy that some places charge up to $40 for basically the same data. My goal is to make enough to cover the paid API costs while continuing to bring down the cost of the reports.

    If you use the VIN search it will work on any 17 digit VIN from around the world.

    No personal information is available (even to me), but DMVs do share VIN to plate mappings

    Do you have Javascript enabled? When you choose a make the models are fetched on the fly using AJAX

    This will be added very soon. In the meantime, if you change "distance=100" in the url to "distance=all" you can search all results -- although in some cases we dont allow this (like if you havent select a make) as it i
