Can I open my report on another device?
Yes. Sign in with the same verified email you used at checkout and the report opens on any device from My Reports. Here is how the two access paths work.
Check the review date and linked sources for context. Live availability, prices and record coverage can vary by VIN, source, jurisdiction and time.
Yes. Sign in with the same verified email address you used at checkout and the report opens on any device from My Reports. The browser you paid in can also open the report link directly while its temporary private access is still live. The emailed link carries no secret key of its own, so a second device proves who you are by signing in rather than by holding the link.
- Signing in with the checkout email is the access path that works on any device.
- The checkout browser can open the report without signing in until its 7-day window ends — or until you sign in with the checkout email, which moves the purchase into your account and retires the browser-only access.
- Opening or re-reading an existing report never spends another report credit.
Two ways your access is proved
Every report page checks one of two proofs. The first is the checkout browser itself: when you start checkout as a guest, a private access cookie is written to that browser before payment and the matching token is stored for seven days, so that browser can open the report without signing in — until that window ends, or until you sign in with the checkout email, which moves the purchase into your account and retires the browser-only access. If you were already signed in with a verified account at checkout, the purchase is bound to that account instead and the account is your access path. The second proof is that verified account: once you sign in with the email address on the purchase, the order and its reports are read from your account instead of from the cookie.
The report link in your delivery email is simply the page address. It contains no token, so forwarding it or pasting it into a different browser does not carry your access with it. That is deliberate: the report page never confirms that a report exists to a visitor who cannot prove access.
Moving from your phone to a laptop
Open My Reports on the second device and choose sign in. Enter the same email address you used at secure checkout; a six-digit code is emailed to that address, and once it is verified the purchase appears in your library automatically. From there you can open the report in the browser or download the original ClearVIN PDF again as often as you need.
If the sign-in email is not the address you typed at checkout, the order will not attach to that account. Sign out and use the checkout address instead.
Steps
- Open My Reports on the second device.
- Sign in with the exact email used at secure checkout.
- Enter the six-digit code sent to that address.
- Open the report, or download the original PDF to keep.
What this does not cover
- The checkout browser's private access lasts up to 7 days and ends as soon as you sign in with the checkout email and the purchase moves into your account; after that, signing in is the way back in.
- Signing in with a different address will not attach the purchase, and the page will not reveal which address was used.
- Reports are licensed for your own internal use in evaluating the vehicle, not for redistribution.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to create an account to read my report?
No. The browser you paid in can open the report for seven days without an account. An account is the durable path: it survives cleared cookies, new phones and the end of that seven-day window.
Can I forward the report email to someone else?
The link will not open for them. It carries no access of its own, and our terms license a purchased report for your own internal use in evaluating that vehicle.
Does opening the report on a second device use another credit?
No. A report credit is spent when a report is queued for a VIN, not when an already-delivered report is viewed or downloaded again.
