VinSnap AI, Inc. is a Delaware corporation that makes VinSnap: Vehicle Passport, an app that gives every car a lifetime record kept in one place and carried from owner to owner. Its tagline is “Every car deserves a passport.”

Most cars still keep their history in a paper service book, a glovebox of receipts and the owner's memory. When the car is sold, much of that record is lost. VinSnap replaces that with a digital passport. Each oil change, brake job, tyre change or repair becomes a “stamp” with its date and mileage, and each stamp says how it is backed: Receipt-backed (the receipt was scanned in VinSnap), Workshop-verified (a workshop using VinSnap Business recorded the job and the owner accepted it) or Owner-reported (typed in by the owner and not checked by VinSnap).

The passport also shows the car's mileage timeline, with a flag when a reading is lower than an earlier one; open and fixed recalls where official recall data is available, such as NHTSA data for US vehicles; and the maintenance that is due next. When the owner sells the car, they can share the passport with a buyer as one private link. The owner chooses whether the shared page shows the full VIN and the car's factory specifications, and can revoke the link at any time. A VinSnap Vehicle Passport is a private record kept by the owner; it is not a government document or vehicle registration.

VinSnap also decodes VINs, finds parts that fit by VIN and cross-references part numbers. For repair shops, VinSnap Business is workshop management software for registered businesses: jobs, customers, invoices and a shop-floor terminal for technicians, with completed work stamped into the customer's passport.

VinSnap is available on the web at vinsnap.net and as an iPhone app. Starting a passport is free.
