Check the lot's title before you bid

A lot number or a VIN is enough to see which document the car actually has, whether it will be released from the country, and what re-issuing it will cost.

A lot number (5–12 digits) or a full 17-character VIN. No platform needed — we search Copart and IAAI, US and Canada.

Enter a lot number or VIN — the answer appears here.

01

Finds the lot without a platform

Enter a lot number or VIN — we search Copart and IAAI, US and Canada. If the number exists on several platforms, you get every match.

02

Decodes the document

The auction prints "CA - SALVAGE CERTIFICATE" or "Wait Title". We match that wording against a per-state title reference and tell you what can actually be done with it.

03

Shows what a mistake costs

When the document needs converting, you see the typical amount and timeline before the bid, not after you've won.
