How to make an inquiry using the CAIR Program

To make an inquiry, you must enter a license plate number, driver license number or vehicle identification number (VIN).
A license plate number inquiry will provide (only currently registered plates):

• Owner’s name and address
• Vehicle Information
• Leased vehicle status
• Recent transaction dates

The driver license number inquiry will give you a driver history abstract and/driver status.
A VIN inquiry will provide  (only currently titled vehicles/vessels):

• Original mileage
• Mileage status
• Lien holder names and addresses
• Year/Make/Model

If you opt to use the Ownership History option, the New Jersey VIN data will also be provided (restricted to Insurance Companies ONLY).
