# APESEG SOAT Certificate History

> Look up a vehicle plate's SOAT certificate history from APESEG.

Reports the SOAT (mandatory traffic-accident insurance) certificate history on
record for a vehicle plate from APESEG (Asociación Peruana de Empresas de
Seguros). Tells you whether the plate has a currently valid (VIGENTE) SOAT, which
company issued it, and the full history of past certificates. One lookup, by
plate.

```bash theme={"dark"}
curl https://api.croma.run/pe/apeseg/soat/v1 \

## Response

| Field             | Notes                                                                  |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `found`           | `true` when the source returned an answer for the plate.               |
| `plate`           | The searched plate (trimmed, uppercased).                              |
| `has_active_soat` | `true` when the plate has a currently valid (VIGENTE) certificate.     |
| `active`          | The current (VIGENTE) certificate, or `null` when none is active.      |
| `count`           | Number of certificates on record.                                      |
| `certificates[]`  | Certificate history, newest first. Empty when the plate has no record. |

Each certificate (`active` and every `certificates[]` entry) has `company`,
`status` (`VIGENTE` / `VENCIDO` / `ANULADO`), `start_date` and `end_date`
(`yyyy-mm-dd` when parseable), `policy_number`, `vehicle_use`, `vehicle_class`,
`certificate_type` (`DIGITAL` / `FISICO`), `brand`, `model`, `created_date`, and
`annulled_date`.

      }
    ]
  }
}
```

<Note>
  SOAT is Peru's mandatory traffic-accident insurance. `has_active_soat: false`
  means no currently valid certificate is on record for the plate, even if past
  certificates appear in the history.

<Note>
  This lookup can take longer than a typical request. It is an
  [async job](/async-jobs). By default the request waits inline and returns
  `{ data }`, or you can poll / use a `callback_url`.
