# Bulk lookups and API — o-licence

> Resolve a list of licence numbers, watch a portfolio of operators, or query the register programmatically.

## Bulk lookups, watching and API

The pages of this site are free. What is not free is doing this three hundred times, on your own list, every month.

### Who does this at volume

Three jobs turn a single lookup into a recurring one:

- **Onboarding and re-checking subcontractors.** A freight
forwarder or 3PL that engages hauliers has to establish, before a first load
and periodically afterwards, that the licence exists and is in normal standing.
555 of the 69,173 licences here are curtailed or suspended — the
whole point of the check is catching one of those.
- **Insurance and finance.** Goods-in-transit underwriting and
asset finance both key on authorised vehicle count. It is on the register and
nowhere else in a usable form.
- **Selling to operators.** Anyone selling tyres, telematics,
fuel cards, lubricants or workshop services to hauliers needs the fleet size
band to size the account — 4,579
licences authorise more than 25 vehicles.

### What we can do on your list

- **Resolve a list.** Send licence numbers, operator names or
company numbers; get back a CSV with type, status, authorised vehicles and
trailers, postcode area and the Companies House number where we hold one
(we hold it for 78.5 % of licences).
- **Watch a portfolio.** Give us the operators you work with. We
compare each weekly publication against the last and tell you what moved —
a curtailment, a suspension, a change in authorised vehicles.
- **Query it.** A JSON endpoint by licence number, for putting
the check inside your own onboarding flow.

Volumes and prices are quoted case by case, because the work differs: a
one-off resolution of 500 numbers is not a weekly watch on 5 000. Say what you
need and we will answer with a figure and a sample.

### Tell us what you need to resolve

Describe the list or the watch. We reply with a sample against your own data, and a price. No payment is taken on this site.

Every request is answered by hand. Your details are used to reply and nothing else — see the [privacy page](/privacy.md).
