Buying a used car? Know the car before you buy it. Orto turns a license plate or VIN into a clear, risk-first vehicle history check in seconds. Scan a plate with your camera, scan a VIN barcode, or just type it in.
Orto is a VIN decoder, license plate lookup and vehicle history report in one app. Point your phone at any US license plate and our license plate scanner (automatic license plate recognition) reads it instantly. It is like Shazam for cars, trucks, SUVs and motorcycles, and it recognizes most US state plates.
FREE WITH EVERY SCAN
- VIN decode and full specifications: make, model, year, engine, transmission, drivetrain, fuel, dimensions and country of manufacture.
- The Orto Trust Score, an A to D grade for how good the vehicle is on safety, reliability and recalls.
- Active NHTSA safety recalls. Is the car safe? Has it been recalled? Check by plate or VIN.
- NCAP crash-test safety ratings.
- Real-time market value from recent local sales, so you know what it is worth before you negotiate.
- Owner reviews and reliability rankings for the make and model.
- Cars for sale near you for the same model.
- A free garage: every scan is saved, with your own notes and photos.
UNLOCK THE FULL TITLE AND HISTORY REPORT
Powered by NMVTIS, the U.S. Department of Justice title database:
- Title brands, rebuilt and branded titles.
- Salvage, junk and total-loss records, so you can avoid unsafe rebuilds.
- Odometer readings and rollback detection to catch mileage tampering.
- Ownership and title history.
- Liens, theft and other records.
- A history-adjusted book value.
- A downloadable PDF report you can hand to a buyer or seller.
BUILT ON TRANSPARENCY
No black boxes. Every number in an Orto report traces back to a named public record or licensed data provider. We show our sources, and when a record is unavailable we tell you instead of dressing up a gap as a clean result.
FOR DEALERS AND PROS
Orto is a fast used-car inventory tool. Add private notes, tags and photos to every unit, run a 15-point inspection that folds into the Trust Score, set renewal reminders, and compare vehicles side by side. Orto Dealer adds team seats, unit assignment, unlimited lookups and a monthly report allowance, on a web dashboard your whole team can use.
Whether you are a private buyer, a seller, an enthusiast or a dealer, do not buy a used car without checking it with Orto first.
Orto covers vehicles in the United States. A vehicle history report is not a substitute for a professional inspection, and an absence of records is not a guarantee of a clean history.
Genius and very easy to navigate thank you for creating this !

I recommend this app to anyone and everyone . I don’t ever write reviews but this app deserves it for sure especially because I read that it’s not a huge company and just one man came up with it. I am hoping there becomes a way to see how many times you have entered the same vehicle and what dates and locations all saved each time you enter it that would be probably the only thing that would make this app any better other than that it’s hands down genius

I give it 5 star because I give the benefit of doubt maybe you are having complications solving the issue recent reviews were complaining about. Like those people this app service was great before but recently is not the same, The history detail was the main reason I personally liked this app. Right now maybe you are having complications resolving the issue but I hope the app gets back to how it used to be even if with premium subscription.
App having odd issues

Experience with the app started out great. But then the other day I got a random notification that my account had been “upgraded successfully” a month after I had already purchased premium.. And ever since I got that notification, “actual” info and vehicle history won’t come up for a single car I’ve searched for. Including cars I had searched for in the past/already had open. Info just *poof* and gone out of nowhere. No mileage, no vehicle history, nothing… Makes zero sense. Definitely not currently having a pleasant experience and definitely not going to renew my subscription if this doesn’t get resolved.
This is the one
Just A Tramp
I’ve spent half my life working on & selling cars. Having this app has made things just a couple important steps easier. First it gives you the MSRP specs adds a detailed report of maintenance and bmv registrations. Adding in the links to check if it’s been in an accident and if it’s been given a salvaged title… not to mention an estimated value. Now I don’t know bout any the other apps out there because l found this one and haven’t needed much of anything else. Great Job Guys!
Hello folks! I've added a ton more useful data to the paid reports, cleaned up some design and UI bits.
