PlateHunt aggregates plate sightings from public open-data, user-submitted dashcam reports, AMBER alerts, and active stolen-vehicle feeds. One search — every place that plate has been recorded, with date, location, and source attribution.
Free for everyone. Each lookup requires a use-case attestation per our open-access policy.
Multiple live sources, growing weekly. All free public data — no DMV scraping, no Vigilant/DRN feeds without licensing.
Any US plate, any state. Attest a use-case (own vehicle, repo order, PI investigation, journalism, etc.) — that attestation is logged.
NYC Open Data (25M+ records), AMBER alert feeds, user-submitted sightings. All sources queried simultaneously, per-source timing tracked.
