Import a Car from the USA to the Middle East: VIN Check

US cars
in the Middle East

American auction cars reach the Gulf through Jebel Ali, the Levant through Aqaba and Iraq through Umm Qasr. Several of those countries refuse salvage-titled cars or cars over a certain age, and none of their registries shows a US title brand. The VIN does, before you pay.

What this site does not check

Vektracer checks US and Canadian records. It does not check customs, registration or police records in the UAE, Jordan, Iraq or anywhere else in the region. For a car already registered locally, use both: the local record for its life there, the VIN for its life before it arrived.

Three things to check before money moves

  1. 1

    The US title brand

    Clean, salvage, rebuilt, flood, junk. Issued by a US state, invisible in every European registry.

    How it is checked
  2. 2

    Prior auction records and photos

    Copart and IAAI intake photos, damage codes and sale price, from every sale the car went through, not only the current lot.

    How it is checked
  3. 3

    The odometer sequence in miles

    Readings at US titles, registrations and inspections in date order. A reading below an earlier one is a rollback.
