Keeping track of traffic fines in Colombia can be a time consuming task for businesses that manage vehicles every day. From logistics and delivery fleets to mobility platforms, insurers, dealerships, and fintech companies, the need for accurate and up to date violation data is becoming more important than ever. When teams rely on manual SIMIT lookups, the work can quickly pile up because each plate must be checked individually and often through a slow portal. This creates delays, inconsistencies, and unnecessary operational costs.

Verifik’s SIMIT General Query by Plate Number API offers a more efficient way to handle this process. Instead of navigating the SIMIT platform manually, companies can pull complete violation data instantly using a single API request. This service is built specifically for vehicles registered in Colombia and helps organizations access fines, courses, and payment agreements in one place.

What Verifik’s SIMIT Plate Number API Does

Verifik’s API simplifies the entire traffic fine verification process by allowing you to check all SIMIT records linked to a vehicle’s plate number. Once you submit the plate, the API returns detailed information about:

  • Traffic fines and violation descriptions 
  • Infraction codes 
  • Amounts owed in Colombian Pesos 
  • The status of each violation 
  • Resolution and issuance dates 
  • Traffic courses related to the vehicle 
  • Existing payment agreements for outstanding fines 

All data comes directly from Colombia’s official SIMIT database and is delivered instantly. This means your business always has the most accurate and updated information for compliance checks or risk assessments.
