About KLUTCHID
Not another VIN decoder. A vehicle’s lifelong identity.
Vehicles change hands, shops and owners many times. Their history shouldn’t be scattered across glove boxes, inboxes and shop systems. KLUTCHID connects every inspection, repair, service, photo and document to one digital identity that follows the vehicle for life.
Principles
What we stand for
Transparent
Every record shows where it came from and how much it can be trusted.
Honest
We never present unverified information as official, or claim data connections we don’t have.
Owner-controlled
Names, documents and records are shared only with people the owner authorises.
Lifelong
The identity belongs to the vehicle, so its history survives every change of owner.
Who it’s for
Simple, powerful, credible
Simple enough for everyday owners — enter a VIN, see the vehicle, and keep its records in one place.
Powerful enough for professional technicians — a fast mobile inspection system with photo and video evidence, trouble codes, recommended repairs and customer-ready reports.
Credible enough for industry partners — clear verification levels, attribution for every record, and integrations built only through licensed, authorised access.
Integrations
Connected today, and planned
Only NHTSA services are connected today. Everything else is planned and will be built only through licensed or authorised partnerships — never by scraping restricted systems.

Your data in this version
There are no accounts yet. Inspections, photos and videos you create are saved only in your browser on your device — nothing is uploaded. VIN lookups are sent to NHTSA to decode the vehicle. Sample vehicles, histories and contributor profiles are fictional demonstrations.
