What the Vehicle RC Verification API does

Whether a gig partner is onboarding their own two-wheeler or a logistics vendor is listing a fleet, the registration certificate tells you who owns the vehicle and what it is. The Vehicle RC Verification API checks the number against the national registry and returns the current record, so ownership claims and vehicle details are verified without a document upload.

It complements driving licence verification: one confirms the person can drive, the other confirms the vehicle is what they say it is.
