# Checks & Verifications

  
Before you commit to a transaction, these APIs help you confirm you have the full picture. These APIs support the due diligence that protects against costly mistakes — pulling vehicle history, decoding and validating VINs, verifying customer identity and address, and capturing the digital signatures needed to move forward. Use them at acquisition, trade-in, or any point where you need to validate a vehicle or a party before proceeding.
