The C.A.R. App

The C.A.R. App (Canadian Auto Registry) is the easiest way to manage your vehicles, track recalls, store your car documents, and transfer ownership safely when you buy or sell a used car in Canada.

Your car's ownership, insurance, service history, and safety recalls — all in one secure place.

ONE PLACE FOR EVERY VEHICLE
Add a car in seconds by scanning its VIN. The C.A.R. App fills in the details automatically and gives you a clean home for your ownership documents, insurance, and service records.

RECALL ALERTS FROM TRANSPORT CANADA
Every vehicle is checked against Transport Canada's recall database. If a safety recall may affect your car, you'll see it — so you're never caught off guard.

NEVER MISS A RENEWAL
Set reminders for service, insurance renewals, and plate sticker renewals. The C.A.R. App keeps track so you don't have to.

TRANSFER OWNERSHIP SAFELY
Buying or selling privately is stressful — who registers, when, and who's still liable. The C.A.R. App makes it simple. Transfer a vehicle directly to another user with your unique C.A.R. code, track the registration window, and keep a permanent record of every ownership change.

A COMPLETE CHAIN OF CUSTODY
Every way a vehicle leaves your garage — an in-app transfer, private sale, scrap, or write-off — is recorded as a permanent registry entry you can pull up anytime.

SERVICE & MAINTENANCE HISTORY
Log every oil change, repair, and service visit. Keep a clear maintenance record that adds value and trust when it's time to sell.

SHARE WITH YOUR HOUSEHOLD
Give family read-only access to a vehicle so everyone can see its documents and service history.

ROADSIDE HELP
Quick access to your location and emergency contacts when something goes wrong on the road.

Built in Canada, for Canadian drivers.

Note: The C.A.R. App helps you organize your own vehicle records and transfers. It is not a government service and does not replace official registration at Service Ontario or your provincial licensing office.
