## Overview

This planned product is intended to retrieve auto parts etching records from approved sources in Argentina. It aims to help compare a vehicle's documentary history, retaining the jurisdiction, date or certificate reference where published, without replacing physical inspection of the markings.

## Use cases

-   Support pre-purchase vehicle reviews
-   Organize fleet documentation checks
-   Compare records supplied by a user

## Coverage and availability

This product is in preparation. Coverage must be defined by jurisdiction and available registry. Vehicle lookups or certificate checks will depend on the identifiers and access method supported by each source.

## What to consider

-   An etching record does not by itself establish that every part currently fitted to a vehicle bears the required identification.
-   A missing result does not prove non-compliance or justify declaring a user's certificate false.
-   Information must retain the scope of the jurisdiction and lookup date, without inferring equivalence with other registries.

## Frequently asked questions

Does the API certify etching compliance?

No. The proposed scope is documentary record lookup. A compliance assessment may require other checks, including checks that cannot be performed through a remote information query.

Could I verify any etching certificate?

That capability is not assumed. The relevant source must be checked to establish whether certificate lookup is supported, which identifier it requires and what information it returns.

What should I include in my inquiry?

Share the jurisdiction, vehicle type and whether you need a vehicle-based or certificate-based lookup. We can assess the proposed scope without collecting real personal records through the contact form.
