A living source register, not a forgotten links page.

VanAssist fingerprints each official page or document on a schedule. When its bytes change, the affected record leaves the public library until the new version, effective date and plain-language description have been reviewed.

  1. 01
    Monitor

    Check official authority pages and downloads daily.

  2. 02
    Detect

    Compare source fingerprints, versions and effective dates.

  3. 03
    Review

  4. 04
    Publish

    Restore the verified official link with a clear current status.

Important:

VanAssist provides access to official sources and general navigation help. It does not provide legal advice, engineering certification, a roadworthy certificate or approval to modify a vehicle. Requirements depend on the vehicle, manufacture date, intended modification and jurisdiction. The issuing authority’s current material always governs.
