License Plate Owner Information
License plate owner information is typically very limited when performing license plate lookup. This of course varies from state to state. Since the DMV is a state run agency each state will have different data available online. What you can expect when performing a license plate search you will most likely find vehicle information, VIN data, vehicle history, recall and safety information and possibly some limited owner information.
License Plate Records Online
Even though license plate owner information is limited however, you can still find an abundance of vehicle information online. With a license plate lookup you can find the make and model of your vehicle, manufacturing data, interior and exterior options, engine type, computer and connectivity options, recall and safety information and much more. You will be able to find the VIN number and decode all of the 17 digits of the VIN number.
VIN Number Records Online
With VIN number records you can find all the details of your vehicle. This will include; make and model, engine type, where it was manufactured, interior and exterior options, color, safety and recall information and dozens more. This is a great way to verify your vehicle or qualify a used vehicle you want to purchase. By performing a license plate search you will automatically get the VIN results when you use the form above. It’s also a good idea to verify that all your information is accurate so check your license plate number or vin number in the above form.
Driving Records Online
License plate and vehicle information are not the only DMV related records you can find online. You can also find; driving records, traffic citations, police records, arrests, court records, sentencings, DUIs online.. This means no more waiting in line at the DMV. All these public records can access these records from any device that has internet access.

Hello Ann,
Were you able to get a license plate number from the other vehicle? If so you could try searching that license plate number on our website. If your initial search provides you with results then you can search in our member’s area to try and locate the name of the license plate owner. However, this may not be necessary if a police report was filed. If you filed a police report then you should be able to contact the police department where the report was filed and get the information that you’re looking for. You were involved in the accident so you should be able to retrieve the information that you are looking for from the police department.

My husband bought a van a few months back. We went to register the van with DMV, but they need the prior owners name and address. I’ve been on a few sites but they all charge and I don’t want to just give money if I don’t get the info I need. Can’t DMV help locate the prior owner? Fresno, Ca
Christina,
Do you have the title for the vehicle or a bill of sale? If not you should go to the DMV and apply for a duplicate title for the van. This will have all the relevant information you need for the vehicle. Without a title or bill of sale the DMV will not have any evidence that the vehicle is yours so it might be difficult for them to register the van under your husband’s name.
How To Get a Duplicate Title From The DMV
1. Go to the DMV website or visit your local DMV office
2. Complete the Statement of Facts Form
3. Fill out the application for a Duplicate Title
4. Pay the applicable fees. Processing can take several weeks
I have this man about late 50s and his told me his daughter wants to come visit him and he doesn’t know where he park her car so i thought he Wants to be best dad so I gave him my parking permit and I told him bring it back when she leave and he offered me some money and I said no I’m just letting you have until she leaves its okey so then he left and I never seen him again the wholeweek and I went to the parking and took a picture of the car and the license plate im thinking she still there so the next day she left and that’s it I never seen her dad or her but they still have my parking permit with them so is that okey to find them by license plate and ask them if they can mail my permit???
Unfortunately that is not one of the acceptable reasons to run a license plate owner search. If you know any additional information about this person such as their first and last name, you can perform a people search and attempt to locate their address this way.

Sorry we cannot provide you with an API for our data stream. You will have to contact a data provider for this
Bought a 1967 Holiday Rambler pull trailer recently. Got a bill of sale but no title and we are trying to determine the vin number. The trailer was last registered around 88 (the expiration year is 88 on the plate) and the licence plate is WZ8855. We need to get all the info to get manuals and register the trailer currently.
We would love to assist you with a license plate owner lookup however we only have vehicle record resources for cars, trucks, suvs, minivans and motorcycles. You will need to contact your local DMV directly to inquire about the additional documentation you’re looking for on your trailer. You will want to bring in your bill of sale, your driver’s license and any other documentation you received from the purchase of your trailer.
