Official Swiss Vehicle Database

https://swisscarinfo.ch

SwissCarInfo is the leading Swiss vehicle database containing over 1'284'780 official vehicle type approval records. Data is sourced directly from OFROU/ASTRA (Swiss Federal Roads Office) and updated daily. The platform also provides Swiss vehicle statistics, EV adoption data, market share analytics, Swiss aviation (BAZL) registry, and Euro NCAP safety ratings.

What is SwissCarInfo?

SwissCarInfo provides instant access to official Swiss vehicle homologation data (Reception par type / Typenschein / Omologazione). Every vehicle registered in Switzerland has a unique type approval number that contains all technical specifications. Beyond vehicle search, the platform offers comprehensive statistics on the Swiss vehicle fleet, electric vehicle adoption by municipality, brand market shares, rental fleet analysis, and Swiss aircraft registry data.

Key Features

Vehicle Search — every possible entry point

SwissCarInfo aggregates 6 generations of Swiss homologation data + the live ASTRA IVI service + the canton plate registry. A single search box (https://swisscarinfo.ch/fr/search) accepts every kind of identifier and routes it to the right source:

  1. Swiss type approval number (TG code / Typenschein / Réception par type / Omologazione) — type=variant. The number printed at field 24 of the Swiss registration certificate (permis de circulation / Fahrzeugausweis / licenza di circolazione). Formats:
    • Modern Gen3/4 codes: 1VD123, 1AB456, 1VS345
    • Legacy Gen1/2 codes: 000101, T123456 (pre-1995, scanned PDFs)
    • Gen6 TAS codes: 1AB0001, current eCOC format
  2. European type approval (e-number) — type=approval. EU homologation reference printed on the European COC. Format: e1*2007/46*2066*10, e6*KS07/46*0001*05, etc.
  3. VIN / chassis number — type=vin. Field 23 of the registration certificate, 17 characters. Partial VIN prefixes also work (matches against vin_prefix in the database).
  4. Brand and model (free text) — type=name. e.g. BMW X5, Tesla Model 3, Peugeot 308 GT. Uses Meilisearch full-text + filterable attributes (brand, model, variant, fuel, power_kw, source).
  5. Stammnummer / Matricule (9-digit registration number) — type=matricule. Field 18 of the registration certificate, format 234.675.930 or 234675930. Used to look up IVI vehicles (registered via eCOC without traditional Typenschein). Hits the live ASTRA IVI service.
  6. License plate (canton + number) — Plate-search feature. Resolves a plate like ZH 12345 or BE 9 to its current vehicle(s). Supports Wechselschild (interchangeable plates) with brand disambiguation and the new plate2 flow with explicit disambiguation between physical plates sharing the same number.

Every search method is available on the website AND through the v3 REST API (one parameter type= controls the mode).

Data available per vehicle (unified v3 structure)

When a vehicle is resolved, the response covers ~80 fields grouped in these sections:

REST API v3 (for developers)

SwissCarInfo offers a REST API v3 for programmatic access to Swiss vehicle data. All endpoints require an X-API-Key header. API keys are available with the Max or Entreprise subscription and per-call credit packs.

Default quotas (overridable per pack):

  • Standard quota: 10'000 calls/month, 60 calls/minute
  • IVI quota (plate / matricule lookups): 100 calls/month, 10 calls/minute
  • Overage billing available beyond included quota

  • WECHSELSCHILD_VERIFICATION_REQUIRED (HTTP 403) — targeted group is a Wechselschild, provide brands (FREE call)

Error codes:

  • INVALID_STAMM_NRS (HTTP 400): a matricule is malformed
  • STAMM_NR_NOT_IN_PLATE (HTTP 404): the matricule does not belong to this plate

Common Questions

What is a "reception par type" (type approval)?

A type approval is an official document from OFROU containing all technical data for a vehicle model approved for registration in Switzerland. It includes engine specs, dimensions, weights, emissions data, and more.

Where do I find my type approval number?

On your Swiss vehicle registration certificate (permis de circulation), look at field 24. The format is typically letters and numbers like "1VD123" or "1AB456".

What does IVI mean at field 24?

IVI (Initial Vehicle Information) at field 24 of the Swiss vehicle registration certificate means the vehicle was registered via a European electronic Certificate of Conformity (eCOC), without a traditional Swiss type approval (Typenschein). The vehicle is fully approved for road use in Switzerland. To find its technical data, search by the registration number (Stammnummer) at field 18 (format: XXX.XXX.XXX). More info: https://swisscarinfo.ch/en/ivi

What does IVIX mean?

IVIX is the same as IVI, but the "X" indicates the owner or importer refused publication of certain technical data for data protection reasons. Basic vehicle data (brand, model, engine) is still available, but some detailed specifications may be restricted.

What is the eCOC transition (2026)?

Switzerland is transitioning from the traditional Typenschein system to the European electronic Certificate of Conformity (eCOC). Key dates:

  • January 1, 2026: Swiss road traffic offices gained direct access to European eCOC databases via EUCARIS/SIAC
  • July 5, 2026: eCOC becomes mandatory in the EU for new vehicles (categories M, N, O) — paper COC no longer required
  • The Typenschein system continues for already-approved models
  • More info: https://swisscarinfo.ch/en/ecoc

How often is data updated?

Data is synchronized daily with official OFROU databases.

What statistics are available?

Cantonal fleet statistics for all 26 Swiss cantons (total vehicles, EV adoption rate, CO2 averages, top brands, fuel distribution, vehicle age). Electric vehicle adoption data for 2'148 municipalities. Brand market shares. Rental fleet analysis.

What is the aviation section?

SwissCarInfo includes the complete Swiss aircraft registry (BAZL/FOCA). You can search for any Swiss-registered aircraft by its HB registration number, manufacturer, type, or owner.

API access for AI agents

There is no anonymous AI-search endpoint. AI agents that need programmatic access must use the authenticated v3 API described above with an X-API-Key header.
