Carlective Vehicle Passport Policy

Creating trusted digital histories for automotive enthusiasts

Effective Date: 01/08/2026 Last Updated: [Insert Date]

1. Introduction

The Carlective Vehicle Passport is a digital record designed to help automotive enthusiasts document, preserve, and share the story of a vehicle.

A vehicle is more than its specifications. It is a combination of ownership history, maintenance, modifications, experiences, and memories.

The Carlective Vehicle Passport allows users to create a structured digital history containing relevant vehicle information, helping owners preserve their automotive journey and providing a clearer picture of a vehicle’s background.

The Vehicle Passport is designed to support transparency and trust within the Carlective community.

2. Purpose of the Vehicle Passport

The purpose of the Carlective Vehicle Passport is to:

  • Create a centralised digital record of a vehicle.
  • Preserve ownership stories and automotive journeys.
  • Organise maintenance and service information.
  • Document modifications and improvements.
  • Allow enthusiasts to showcase their vehicles.
  • Encourage transparency within the automotive community.

A Vehicle Passport is intended to complement existing vehicle records, not replace official documentation.

3. What a Vehicle Passport Is

A Carlective Vehicle Passport is a digital profile associated with a vehicle.

It may include:

  • Vehicle specifications.
  • Images.
  • Ownership milestones.
  • Service records.
  • Maintenance history.
  • Modification details.
  • Build information.
  • Event participation.
  • Vehicle stories.
  • Inspection records.
  • Supporting documents.

The information contained within a Vehicle Passport depends on what the owner chooses to add and what verification features have been completed.

4. What a Vehicle Passport Is Not

A Vehicle Passport does not represent:

  • Government registration.
  • Legal proof of ownership.
  • A replacement for DVLA records.
  • A warranty.
  • A mechanical guarantee.
  • A professional valuation.
  • A roadworthiness certificate.
  • An insurance policy.
  • A substitute for independent vehicle checks.

Carlective does not guarantee that all information contained within a Vehicle Passport is accurate unless specifically identified as verified through an approved process. Users should complete their own checks before purchasing, selling, insuring, financing, or relying on vehicle information.

5. Creating a Vehicle Passport

Users may create a Vehicle Passport by providing relevant vehicle information. Users should provide information that is:

  • Accurate.
  • Genuine.
  • Current.
  • Legally obtained.

Users may be asked to provide additional information where enhanced verification features are available. Carlective may limit, review, or remove Vehicle Passports where information appears:

  • False.
  • Misleading.
  • Fraudulent.
  • In violation of community standards.

6. Vehicle Information

A Vehicle Passport may include information such as:

Basic Vehicle Details

Including:

  • Make.
  • Model.
  • Year.
  • Engine information.
  • Transmission.
  • Trim level.

Ownership Journey

7. Service History & Maintenance Records

Owners may add maintenance information including:

  • Service dates.
  • Mileage records.
  • Garage information.
  • Repair history.
  • Parts replaced.

  • Misrepresent work completed.

Where available, Carlective may introduce integrations with approved automotive partners to improve reliability and verification.

8. Modifications & Build Records

Carlective recognises that modifications and personalisation are an important part of automotive culture. Users may document:

  • Performance upgrades.
  • Cosmetic changes.
  • Restorations.
  • Custom work.

  • Audio upgrades.
  • Other vehicle enhancements.

Users should provide accurate descriptions of modifications. Where possible, users should include:

  • Dates.
  • Brands.
  • Installers.
  • Supporting documentation.
  • Photographs.

9. Vehicle Stories & Provenance

A vehicle’s story is an important part of its identity. Users may share:

  • Ownership experiences.
  • Road trips.
  • Events attended.
  • Restoration journeys.
  • Personal memories.

Stories should be authentic and respectful. Users should not create false histories or claim involvement with a vehicle’s past without evidence.

10. Vehicle Passport Verification Levels

Carlective may introduce different levels of verification to improve trust. Verification levels may include:

Level 1: Owner Created

A Vehicle Passport created and managed by the owner. Information is user-submitted and has not been independently verified.

Level 2: Community Verified

Information may have additional confirmation through community features, supporting evidence, or trusted users.

Level 3: Carlective Verified

Information has been reviewed through an approved Carlective verification process. This may include:

  • Document checks.
  • Identity verification.
  • Partner verification.
  • Vehicle inspections.

Level 4: Partner Verified

Information may be verified through approved third-party partners such as:

  • Specialist garages.
  • Dealers.
  • Inspection providers.
  • Automotive professionals.

Verification levels may change as Carlective develops. A verification badge does not guarantee a vehicle’s condition, value, safety, or future performance.

11. Ownership Transfers

Where supported, Vehicle Passports may be transferred between owners. A transfer may require:

  • Confirmation from the current owner.
  • Confirmation from the new owner.
  • Additional verification checks.

Transfer history may form part of the vehicle’s digital story.

Carlective does not determine legal ownership.

Ownership remains governed by official records and applicable law.

12. Privacy & Visibility

Users control how much information they share.

Depending on available settings, Vehicle Passport information may be:

  • Private.
  • Shared with selected users.
  • Visible to the Carlective community.
  • Publicly displayed.

Users should consider privacy before uploading:

  • Personal documents.
  • Sensitive information.
  • Ownership details.
  • Location information.

Carlective processes personal information in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable UK data protection law.

Trust is fundamental to the Vehicle Passport system.

Users must not:

  • Create fake vehicle histories.

  • The authenticity of every uploaded document.
  • The value of any vehicle.
  • The suitability of any vehicle for purchase.

Users remain responsible for conducting appropriate checks and obtaining professional advice where necessary.
