Driver and vehicle database checks: licence, fines, restrictions and vehicle pledge via the API

Driver database checks for taxi fleets, car sharing, logistics and vehicle fleets: licence and disqualification from the traffic police (GIBDD), unpaid fines, passport and wanted status. We check the vehicle by plate number or VIN — registration restrictions, wanted status, pledge, compulsory motor insurance (OSAGO) policy. One API request — a report for each source before a shift, a trip or a deal.

Licence, insurance, a roadworthy vehicle: what the law requires from whoever puts a driver on the road

There is no separate law “on checking drivers”. The requirements are scattered across the road safety law, the Administrative Offences Code, the OSAGO law, the taxi law and the Civil Code — and each answers its own question: does the person have the right to drive, is the vehicle insured, is it listed as wanted or pledged.
NeuroVision collects the answers from the databases before admission. The medical check, the technical inspection, the waybill and the decision to admit remain with you.

Catalogue of driver and vehicle checks

Sixteen checks in four groups: licence, fines and insurance, the person behind the wheel and the vehicle. Any of them can be run separately or combined into a set for your process. The identifiers for the API are indocumentation catalogue.

Driving licence

Checks by the licence series and number: the passport is not needed for them.

  • Traffic police

    Driving licence validity

    A driving licence check against the GIBDD database via the API: whether the document is valid, its expiry date, wanted status of the blank.
    Required: series, number and date of issue.

  • Traffic police

    Disqualification from driving

    Whether there is a current disqualification and until what date. A person whose licence has been withdrawn sometimes shows a photo of an old blank — the database will show that the right to drive is suspended.
    Required: series, number and date of issue.

  • Licence photo

    Recognition of the licence from both sides

    Full name, dates, series and number, categories and their opening dates — from a photo, without manual entry. The number goes straight to the database check. The reverse side is free.

    from 16 ₽

Licence, passport, VIN or plate number: what data opens the checks

What to pass depends on whom and what you are checking. Pass the whole set: a check that lacked data is marked “skipped” and is not charged.

  • Licence series, number and date of issue

    Unlocks: licence validity, disqualification, fines by licence.

    Not enough / explanation: Without the date of issue the validity check will not run — it is visible on the front side.

  • Licence photo of both sides

    Unlocks: all the data of card 1 without manual entry, categories and their opening dates for length of experience.

    Not enough / explanation: The photo is checked for forgery; a poor shot is returned with a request to retake it.

  • Russian passport

    Unlocks: passport validity, INN, fines by passport, self-employed status.

    Not enough / explanation: The system obtains the INN itself — there is no need to pass it separately.

  • Full name and date of birth

    Unlocks: Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSSP and FSIN wanted lists, KBM, the Rosfinmonitoring list.

    Not enough / explanation: This is the minimum; a full date of birth rules out namesakes.

  • Foreign national’s document

    Unlocks: register of controlled persons of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, recognition of a foreign citizen's passport.

    Not enough / explanation: Checks that need a Russian passport or INN are not available for a foreigner.

  • VIN, plate number or a photo of the registration certificate

    Unlocks: vehicle restrictions and wanted status, pledge, OSAGO policy, technical inspection, taxi register.

    Not enough / explanation: A VIN is needed for the pledge: the notification register does not search by plate number.

From a licence photo to a report: three steps to check a driver and a vehicle

The driver photographs the licence and passport, the fleet manager the registration certificate; your system receives a report for each source and decides itself whom to admit.

Step 1

The driver photographs the licence, the vehicle — the registration certificate

A Web SDK opens in the driver's app or on the website: the person photographs both sides of the licence and the passport, the fleet manager the registration certificate. The data is recognised in seconds, the photos go through anti-fraud. If the data is already in your system — pass it to the API without photos.

Recognition of both sides of the licence and the registration certificate: fields and photo anti-fraud
Step 2

One request — every check you need

Your server sends a set of checks in one request and receives a run identifier. The system queries the GIBDD, GIS GMP, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Tax Service and the vehicle registers and repeats the request if a source fails. Inside a KYC session the result arrives by webhook.

One request to the GIBDD, GIS GMP, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Tax Service and the pledge register
Step 3

A report for each source

For each check — a status and details: “disqualified until 14.03.2027”, “2 unpaid fines”, “pledge since 2025”. The admission decision is made by your specialist or your rule: for example, “more than three fines — do not put on the road”.

A report on the driver and vehicle: licence, disqualification, fines, pledge — and the admission decision

Disqualified, not found, not checked: how to read the response for a driver and a vehicle

  • Found is a fact, not a decision

    “Disqualified until a certain date”, “three unpaid fines”, “ban on registration” — the source's information at the moment of the request. A fine may have been paid yesterday and not yet reached the payment system. A disputed case is a reason to ask the driver for a receipt or a statement, not to refuse automatically.

  • Not found — clean in this source

    “Not found” means: there are no records in this database for this data. It is not a certificate of no criminal record and not a guarantee of accident-free driving — only the answer of one register.

  • Not checked does not mean clean

    If data was lacking or the source did not respond, the check gets the status “not performed” and is not charged. Such a check is repeated, not counted as passed. By full name without a date of birth, namesakes cannot be ruled out — pass the full date.

The response comes for each check separately, in machine-readable form and in the account report. The admission rules — “how many fines are acceptable”, “what to do with a pledge” — are set by you.

Check sets for taxi, car sharing, freight and leasing

When to recheck a driver and a vehicle: shift, trip, contract renewal

Licences, fines and status change after admission: a driver is disqualified, fines accumulate, a vehicle is pledged or placed under a ban. A repeat request costs the same as the first, so choose the frequency by risk.

  • Disqualification — the main thing that changes without your knowledge Licence
  • Unpaid fines — for taxis the threshold is counted for each day of carriage Fines
  • OSAGO policy for the vehicle — especially if the driver uses their own Motor insurance

  • Driver wanted status and passport — if the driver is new to you Wanted lists
  • Vehicle wanted status and a match of the plate number with the order Vehicle wanted status
  • Licence — if more than a month has passed between trips Licence

  • Licence and disqualification — from a list of drivers in one batch of requests Licence
  • Self-employed status — the driver may have been deregistered A self-employed person
  • Register of controlled persons — for foreign drivers Register of controlled persons

  • Pledge and restrictions on the vehicle — before signing an additional agreement Pledge
  • Bailiffs and bankruptcy of the lessee — with their consent Federal Bailiffs Service
  • Diagnostic card — before it expires Technical inspection
  • There is no automatic monitoring with alerts: rechecking is a repeat request on a schedule in your system.

Someone else's licence, a substituted vehicle, an account for rent: what the databases show

Most ways of bypassing admission rely on the licence being checked by eye and the vehicle not being checked at all. The databases catch some of them — the rest is covered by the rules of your process.

  • The licence of a disqualified driver

    The person shows a photo of an old blank: the picture looks fine, but according to the GIBDD database the right to drive is suspended. It is visible only by a database request — disqualification cannot be determined from a photo.

  • Another person's licence

    The driver uploads the licence of a brother or an acquaintance with a similar appearance. Anti-fraud catches documents of different people in one session and edits in the photo; a passport and a licence issued to different people are visible from a mismatch of full name and date of birth.

  • The vehicle is not the one in the order

    A vehicle with a different plate number arrives for loading, or the number has been “moved” from another vehicle. Matching the registration certificate to the order and a wanted-status check by VIN show the discrepancy before the cargo is released.

  • An account for rent

    An admitted driver hands the app account to someone else — without a licence or disqualified. A repeat check before a shift will not help if someone else got behind the wheel — here you need a data change in the account and your own control. A foreign licence cannot be checked against the GIBDD database: it is not there.

What remains with the fleet: medical check, the driver's accidents, technical condition

  • Medical check and certificate of no criminal record

    The databases do not replace fitness for health, the pre-trip medical check and the certificate of no criminal record for a taxi driver. They are issued by a medical organisation and by the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the person's own request, and you store and verify them.

  • The accident history of a specific driver

    There is no separate “driver accident rate” database for business. Indirectly it is indicated by the bonus-malus coefficient — it will appear in the catalogue. A vehicle's accidents by VIN and its technical condition on the road are your pre-trip control.

  • Admission decision and waybill

    We provide information from the databases. Whether to admit a driver, release a vehicle or issue a waybill is the decision and responsibility of your company.

The service works only with legal entities and sole proprietors under a contract — for admitting drivers, accepting vehicles and deals. You cannot check yourself or a vehicle before buying through NeuroVision.

Driving licence, KBM, VIN, registration ban: a glossary of driver and vehicle checks

Driving licence
A document giving the right to drive vehicles of the stated categories. In Russia it is issued for 10 years; it is checked in the GIBDD database by series, number and date of issue.
Driving licence
Disqualification from driving
A punishment under the Administrative Offences Code for the period stated in the court ruling. The period runs from the day the licence is surrendered, so having the blank in hand does not prove the right exists.
Licence suspension
Category opening date
The date in box 10 on the back of the licence. It is used to count experience in a category — for example, three years of “B” for a taxi.
Category issue date
State payments system
The State Information System on Payments: it shows accrued and unpaid fines.
State payments system
No-claims bonus
The OSAGO bonus-malus coefficient: a discount for years without payouts through the driver's fault or a surcharge for accidents. It is calculated under the rules of the Bank of Russia.
Bonus-malus
VIN
The 17-character identification number of a vehicle. It does not change when the plate number or owner changes — pledge and wanted status are searched by it.
VIN
Vehicle registration
The vehicle registration certificate: plate number, VIN, make, owner. The driver carries it with them.
Vehicle registration certificate
Ban on registration actions
A restriction imposed by bailiffs, a court or another body: the vehicle cannot be re-registered until the ban is lifted.
Registration ban
Pledge notification register
A public register of the notary system where pledgees register the pledge of movable property, including vehicles.
Pledge register
Passenger taxi register
A regional register of vehicles permitted to work as taxis; the information is collected by FGIS “Taxi”.
Taxi register

Frequently asked questions about driver and vehicle database checks

Send the licence series, number and date of issue, the passport or the full name with date of birth, and the list of checks needed in one request. In response you get a run identifier, and with it the result for each source. If the data is not in your system, the driver photographs the licence in the Web SDK and the number goes to the check by itself.

The blank does not show whether the person has been deprived of the right to drive or whether the document is listed as wanted: this information is only in the GIBDD database. Inspection and photo anti-fraud show that the document is not forged, the database — that the right to drive is valid.

Yes. Unpaid fines are checked by licence number and by passport — two checks at 5 ₽. The response contains the list of unpaid rulings; you set the threshold, for example “more than three” for taxis.

By plate number or VIN: restrictions on registration actions, vehicle wanted status, pledge in the notification register, OSAGO policy, diagnostic card and, for taxis, inclusion in the regional register. The price is on request.

A basis is needed: the law, a contract with the driver or their consent. For employees — written consent to obtaining information from third parties. Consent is drawn up as a separate document. Your company determines the basis and the purpose.

A decision about an employee cannot be based solely on automated data processing — the Labour Code requires this. The report is material for your specialist. For taxis the law directly prohibits passing an order to a driver who does not meet its requirements.

A foreign licence cannot be found in the GIBDD database: we recognise it from a photo and check the photo for forgery, and the person — against the register of controlled persons of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the wanted list. As a general rule one cannot work as a driver on a foreign licence — exceptions depend on the country of issue.

Licence and fine checks — 5 ₽ each, licence recognition — from 16 ₽, 16 basic person checks as a package — 50 ₽. Vehicle checks — on request. You pay only for completed checks.

By risk: licence and fines — before a shift or once a month, the vehicle — before a trip with valuable cargo and when renewing a rental or lease. A repeat request costs the same as the first.

Partly. The check will show disqualification and fines for the person the account is registered to, and forgery of the licence photo. If someone else got behind the wheel, you need your own rules for changing data in the account. Details — on the pages about taxi and car sharing.

No. NeuroVision works only with companies and sole proprietors under a contract: taxi fleets, car sharing, logistics, leasing and vehicle fleets.

In the NeuroVision cloud in Russia or in your environment if the platform is installed with you. The retention period is set in the scenario settings and the contract.
