Verification process

We separate the jurisdiction, vehicle category, vehicle origin, transaction type and date. The article links to the exact source when available and records when the page was last checked.

What “verified” means

It means the material was compared with the cited official source on the displayed date. It does not mean the publication can guarantee how an authority will decide an individual application.
