Benefits

Less typing, fewer transposed digits, fewer follow-up calls.

Typing vehicle registrations out by hand costs minutes every time — and one swapped character in the VIN costs far more later on. With Fahrzeugschein24 there is no more typing of plates, VINs and owner details: the values are read off the document, and you see where each one came from.

01

65 fields from the document

From plate, VIN and owner data through manufacturer codes, make and type to first registration, masses, emission values and dimensions.

02

Every value is evidenced

Each field comes with a confidence score, its position in the image and the cropped cutout — checking a result takes seconds.

03

Answer in 1–2 seconds

One call is enough. Even tilted phone photos, creases and pale scans are straightened automatically without slowing the answer down.

04

Photo, scan or PDF

JPEG, PNG, HEIC from an iPhone, TIFF, BMP, WebP and PDF up to 20 MB. Rotated shots are read the right way round automatically.

05

Automatic plausibility checks

VIN and check digit, manufacturer codes as well as date and number formats are cross-checked. Contradictions are flagged instead of passed on.

06

Processed in Germany

Application and processing run on servers in Germany, your documents stay in the EU. DPA under Art. 28 GDPR available online.

Add-on

  • Traces of later editing

  • The same document with different data
  • Overall grade A–F per document

Answered briefly

Which entries are read from a German vehicle registration?

Up to 65 fields from the Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I: registration number, vehicle identification number, keeper and address, date of first registration, make and type, the German key numbers, masses, emissions and tyre data. The full list is at every field at a glance.

How long does it take to read a Fahrzeugschein?

Usually one to two seconds per document — in the browser and over the API alike.

Is a phone photo enough, or do I need a scan?

A phone photo is enough as long as the document is fully visible and legible. Skewed, rotated or dark captures are straightened and cleaned up first. JPEG, PNG, HEIC, PDF, TIFF, BMP and WebP are accepted.

What does it cost to read vehicle registrations?

The free plan stays free and covers 15 extractions a month, with no call and no payment details. Above that, plans start at 19 euros net per month; every tier is listed under pricing.

Are my documents stored?

No. Processing runs on servers in Germany and stays inside the EU; uploaded documents are processed only for the duration of the request. Details are on the security page.

Do you detect edited or re-submitted documents?

From the Business plan up, a check for irregularities runs alongside: signs of editing, contradictory entries, and documents that have been submitted before. It is an indication for your own review, not an official authenticity ruling.
