FAQ
Can I find out who owns a car from its plate?
No — and no legitimate service can. Linking a plate or VIN to a named owner is restricted by the U.S. Driver's Privacy Protection Act and equivalent privacy laws abroad. CarLogs is built around the car, not the person. Anyone promising owner names is operating in a legal grey zone.
Does the VIN search cost anything?
Yes. The instant search (identity, specs and safety recalls) is powered by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's public data and costs nothing — no account required.
Will CarLogs alert me about new recalls?
Yes, at no charge. Click Watch this VIN on any vehicle's page and we'll email you the moment a new safety recall is issued for it — for as long as you own the car. Unsubscribe any time.
How do I know what to check before buying a used car?
Every vehicle page shows the most-reported problems for that exact year, make and model (from real NHTSA owner complaints), plus a pre-purchase inspection checklist of what to look for — all at no cost.
Can I tell whether the asking price is fair?
Yes. We show a fair-price range for that exact year/make/model based on comparable listings, so you can spot an overpriced car before you negotiate. The exact, up-to-date value for a specific VIN is in the full report.
Can I save or share a report?
Absolutely — every vehicle page has Share and Save as PDF buttons, so you can keep a clean copy or send it to a mechanic or friend.
Where do the full history records come from?
Title, salvage, odometer and total-loss records come from national title databases (such as NMVTIS in the U.S.) accessed through licensed data providers. These are the same sources behind the big-name history reports.
Where do I find the VIN?
Look at the base of the windshield on the driver's side, the driver's door jamb sticker, your vehicle title, registration, or insurance card. It's 17 characters and never contains the letters I, O or Q.
Does it work outside the United States?
The search works for most VINs worldwide. Full history coverage is rolling out market by market — the U.S. and Canada first, with the U.K. and others to follow.
