How to Verify Vehicle Ownership in Pakistan

Are you in the mood to purchase a pre-loved vehicle? You’ll have to get its possession, excise taxation record, and other documents verified by an authority before you bargain. If you don’t, you can face legal issues in case the vehicle was illegally bought by its previous owners, used for illegal activities, or is a stolen asset. In this post, we’ll share how to verify vehicle ownership in Pakistan online.

Previously, the verification procedure used to be slow and difficult. Thanks to the upgrades in technology, this process is now quick and easy. All you need to do is send one text and you’ll be sent all necessary details within seconds. Taxation and excise details will also be sent to you.

Stolen Vehicle Identification System 

The Pakistani government introduced the Stolen Vehicles Identification System (SVIS) back in 2013. This is a beneficial system to curb the resale of stolen vehicles and to locate lost vehicles. If you SMS the chassis number of your vehicle to 8521 from anywhere in Pakistan, from any mobile network, you’ll be sent further information on your cell phone.
