Once a payment is made, we verify that you are the registered owner. If the ownership cannot be verified, the payment will be declined or refunded.

Real Reviews from Trusted Sellers
Discover how AuthorizeCheck helps sellers disclose history, clear finance, and sell with documented proof.
I purchased a vehicle check before listing my Golf. AuthorizeCheck pulled archival Copart photos showing a historic rear impact. I disclosed it upfront and sold without a later dispute.
“The report flagged £4,200 of outstanding PCP with Black Horse. I settled the lender before listing so the title was clean when the first viewer arrived.”
“Viewers always ask about clocking. I ran a check first and handed them the MOT mileage trajectory. The listing sold faster because the odometer was documented.”
“Printed the certificate and handed it to the first viewer who came to see my Audi A4. He read through the clean title and paid the full asking price with zero haggling. Paid for itself 100 times over.”
“I purchased a vehicle check from my phone before I posted the ad. The PDF report arrived in my inbox within 3–4 hours. Super clean interface, easy to share, and completely reassuring.”
