ClearVIN appears on the DOJ provider list; VIN Lookup resells its report and is not itself listed as an NMVTIS provider. The report may include data beyond the NMVTIS core, but the records returned vary by VIN.

Refunds and operator
The refund policy states that once a report is delivered the transaction is final, and that all report packages are non-refundable regardless of usage. Only a failed single delivery qualifies, within 7 days.
The terms say the site is operated by CheapVHR and governed by the law of the state where it is registered, without naming the state or the company.
How to check a report bought from CheapVHR
Before paying, read three pages, not the homepage: the terms of service, the refund policy and the contact page. Write down who the seller says it is, what it says you are buying (an original CARFAX report, an AutoCheck report, or its own report built from other sources) and the exact conditions for a refund. On discounted-report sites these pages often say less than the marketing.
After delivery, check that the VIN printed on every page matches the VIN on the car, that the report shows a generation date from today, and that the provider named on the document is the one you paid for. A report for another VIN, an old date or an unexplained brand change is a reason to stop. Title brands and total-loss records can be confirmed independently through a DOJ-listed NMVTIS provider, theft and insurer salvage at NICB VINCheck, and recalls at NHTSA.
Buyer checklist
- Buy a single report before any package.
- Pay with a method that offers dispute rights.
- Check the VIN and date on the report.
- Confirm title data independently.
- Check open recalls free at NHTSA.
- Check theft and insurer salvage at NICB VINCheck.
