# Extract Fleet Vehicle Registration Data

Fleet management agencies use this recipe to digitize vehicle registration documents — extracting VIN numbers, registration dates, insurance details, and technical specs for centralized fleet databases.

## APIs Used

Document Extraction (1 credit per page)

## Prerequisites

You need an Iteration Layer API key. Get one at [platform.iterationlayer.com](https://platform.iterationlayer.com) during the 7-day trial.

For full integration guidance (SDKs, auth, MCP, error handling), see the [Iteration Layer Integration Guide](https://iterationlayer.com/SKILL.md).
