Verify an auction sheet online in under a minute

Searching is free. Enter the car’s chassis number and we show you the vehicle, the auction it went through and the date — at no cost, with no account. You only pay if you want the full auction record: the grade, the inspector’s damage marks, the real mileage and what it sold for.

Anyone can hand you an auction sheet — or a Photoshopped copy of one. The only way to be sure is to pull the original record from the auction house yourself, using the car’s chassis number. Here’s exactly how, start to finish.

Is auction sheet verification free?

Checking is free. The record is paid. Type a chassis number into the search box and you will see the vehicle, the auction house and the sale date without paying anything or creating an account. That tells you the car exists in the Japanese auction records — which already catches a fabricated sheet.

What costs money is the sheet itself: the inspector’s grade, the damage diagram, the verified odometer reading and the price it actually sold for. That is the part a seller can forge, and the part worth paying to see. A single report is $8.

  • Free, no account: search any chassis number, confirm the car is real, see which auction it went through and when.
  • $8: the original auction sheet — grade, damage marks, mileage, sale price, and the auction house photographs.
  • Nothing found? You are not charged. Our Manual Search team looks by hand, and refunds you in full if the record does not exist.

Be careful with sites offering a “100% free auction sheet”. Retrieving a record from a Japanese auction house costs money every time, so a service giving them away free is either showing you a generic sample or collecting your details to sell. We tell you plainly which part is free and which is not.

The process

How to verify a sheet, in 4 steps

Standard verification takes under a minute. You need one thing to start: the car’s chassis number (we’ll show you where to find it next).

1
Enter the chassis number
On the homepage, type the full chassis number and press Verify.
2
We search every source we reach
Our system checks Japan’s auction databases instantly and finds the record.
3
Confirm it’s your car
Before you pay, we show the make, model and year. Check it matches.
4
Pay and get the report
Pay securely; your report and a permanent link arrive instantly by email.
⚡
The standard report is delivered the moment payment clears — no waiting. Translation and Deeper Scan follow shortly after (about 30 minutes on average).
Before you start

How to find your chassis number

The chassis number (also called the frame number) is the car’s unique ID. You can find it in any of these places:

📄
On your registration or import papers
The most reliable source — it’s printed on the official documents.
🚪
A sticker inside the driver’s door frame
Open the door and look at the body pillar where the latch sits.
🚗
On the dashboard, through the windscreen
Visible from outside on the lower corner of the dash on many cars.
💬
Ask the dealer or seller
Request the chassis number before you pay anything for the car.
1 2 Inside the driver’s door frame On the dash, through the windscreen
Two common spots on the car — plus your registration papers.

A chassis number is a short code of letters, a hyphen and numbers. It looks like this:

NZE141-6048720 ZRT260-3102965 NHP170-7195672 KSP130-5386378
⚠️
Double-check the number before you pay. If you enter the wrong chassis and receive the wrong car’s report, we can’t refund it — that counts as user error. One quick check saves the hassle.

The full picture

What’s inside a Deeper Scan?

Translation tells you what the sheet says. The Deeper Scan tells you what it means — an audit that surfaces the risks a quick read would miss. It runs a 9-point check:

Theft scan VIN match Frame check Accident grade Repair history Paint detection Flood / fire markers Mileage check Re-listing pattern

On top of the audit, you get a confidence score (0–100) across documentation, frame, mileage and market; a USD market valuation (clean example vs this car vs salvage floor); a full auction-history timeline; a critical-issues panel with repair costs; and 3–5 recommended next steps tailored to the car.

“Record not found”? Use Manual Search

A few cars don’t appear in the standard online database — usually older vehicles, personal imports, or cars from smaller regional auctions. That doesn’t mean the record is gone.

📧
We contact the auction house directly
Our team searches their private archives by hand for your chassis.

Refund if nothing is found
$39 up front, refunded 100% if no record exists. All or nothing.

What to do with your report

Your report is the real story of the car. Run these checks the moment you open it:

①
Check the grade first
Grade 4+ is good; R or RA means accident history; below 3.5 needs thought.
②
Look for XX marks
Replaced panels can signal a serious past accident, even at a decent grade.
③
Check the mileage star symbol
Two or three stars means the odometer can’t be trusted.
④
Compare it with the seller’s claims
If the grade, mileage or history differ, use the report to renegotiate — or walk.
⑤
Save your permanent link
It never expires — share it with your mechanic, insurer or buyer anytime.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How long does verification take?
The standard report is delivered instantly — within seconds of payment. Translation and Deeper Scan average about 30 minutes (12 hours maximum) during Japan business hours. Manual Search takes 24–48 hours.
What if my chassis shows “not found”?
Use Manual Search ($39). Our team contacts the Japanese auction houses directly and searches their private archives. If nothing is found, you get a refund.
Can I verify any Japanese car?
If the car was auctioned in Japan at any of our Japan-wide auction coverage, we can find the record. Very old vehicles (25+ years) may need a Manual Search.
What if I enter the wrong chassis number?
Contact support immediately by email. If the correct report hasn’t been delivered yet, we may be able to fix it. Once a report is delivered, we can’t refund a wrong-chassis order, since that’s user error.
Can I share my report with someone else?
Yes. Your permanent report link can be shared with anyone — dealer, mechanic, buyer or insurer — with no login required.
Is my payment secure?
Yes. Card payments are processed by Stripe (PCI-DSS Level 1), and JP Sheet never stores your card details. You can also pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal.
I didn’t get my report email — what now?
Check your spam or junk folder first. Then sign in to JP Sheet with the same email — your report is saved under My Reports. If it’s still missing, contact support and we’ll resend it.
