Custom plate availability check for plate shops: free or taken before the purchase

With Zevra Kennzeichen-Check your shop shows inside the checkout whether a custom plate (Wunschkennzeichen) is free. The availability check runs live with 356 registration offices, as a widget with one line of code or as an API.

Only a real answer from the authority is billed.

Which problem does the check solve in a shop?

Orders with a taken combination

Without a check your customer orders plates for a combination the authority no longer allocates. The result is queries and cancellations.

Customers leave the shop to check

Whoever has to check in the authority's portal first often does not come back. With the check, checking stays in your page.

No replacement when taken

If the combination is taken, the check names free alternatives. Your customer simply picks another one.

How does the check work in the checkout?

The customer enters the combination

District code, letters and digits, in the widget or in your own field.

The check asks the authority

Half of the answers arrive in under 4,2 seconds.

Your shop shows free or taken

If taken, free alternatives follow. If the authority does not answer, the request costs nothing.
