Why some details are masked
A number plate is visible to anyone on the road. Showing a full name, address or complete chassis number against it would make stalking and fraud easy. We show enough to verify a vehicle — never enough to identify a person.
Need the complete record?
Full reports are shared on request over email after a quick check of why you need it — for example, a purchase or a police complaint.
