About Us

Vehicle identification data of all new and used imported vehicles.

Who we are.

IVID was established due to the rise in the levels of importation of second hand or used vehicles mainly from the far east into Southern Africa mainly through the port of Durban that were unverified or checked. These vehicles were later found to be either illegally imported in many cases or illegally registered onto the South African vehicle register system.

 

IVID was initiated to begin a database for capture of the used/ second hand vehicles transiting through South Africa for verification purposes. The aim was to ascertain whether these vehicles were stolen as well as identity verification.

 

Vehicle identification data of all new and used imported vehicle units, and those manufactured in the region are gathered and stored. Access to this data is provided to regional authorities, motor industry, police services, customs and excise control, regional vehicle registration authorities, finance houses, banking and insurance industries. IVID also provides a verification system to the public via approved service providers to protect them from purchasing illegal, stolen or cloned vehicles and maintains data flows and close liaison with vehicle manufacturers, Interpol, IAATI, WCO and IACP.

 

IVID is a privately run organization in partnership with Government agencies, specializing in liaising with vehicle manufacturers both local and international, police authorities, finance providers, insurance companies, customs authorities, port officials, safety standard boards, government registration authorities and the general public. The business manages a database that is linked to all the above institutions and can provide useful information on an ongoing basis to all the relevant stakeholders and users.

 

IVID has the ability to identify international trafficking of stolen vehicles to alert authorities regarding misrepresentations, mis-description and fraudulent activities in vehicle crime to protecting public interest.

Industry Problems

NaTIS transactions are both cumbersome and fraud-prone.
Many assets are no longer permitted by regulation to be registered on NaTIS.
Records are duplicated, lost or “stolen” and various industry stakeholders bear this risk.
Our borders are porous owing to very little automation of information sharing.
Can technology be used to streamline communication methods and both prevent and detect errors?
IVID systems work together to provide the solution!

In order to reduce instances of fraud and maintain the integrity of records across the industry, IVID systems work together to provide database and communication solutions.
