# Registration Status

To retrieve the registration status & write-off information for a given vehicle, you can call the `status` endpoint.

Call the `/v2/vehicles/{number_plate}/status` endpoint with `region=au`. You must send the state in its short format, you can use the long format for front-end purposes if you require. Refer to the Australian state table under the Registration Search heading in this guide for a list.
