Frequently asked questions
Is the vehicle check free?
Yes. The check is completely free, with no sign-up and no payment. The information comes from open government registries and is available to everyone.
Is this an official Ministry of Transport site?
No. This is an independent service that presents the Israeli government open datasets (data.gov.il) in readable form. The data comes from the official source; the site itself is not official.
Does the check expose personal details?
No. The public registries contain no owner names or identifying details, and searches are not stored on any server — search history is kept only on your device, if you enable it.
How often is the data updated?
Each dataset refreshes on its own schedule — some daily, some weekly. The report states when each section was retrieved, so you know what you are relying on.
