I’m going to buy a 2004 or 5 Chevy van in Fredonia, NY, with Ohio plates HXL2161. The seller is a little hazy about the title! I would like the year verified. I’d like to make sure the title is clear. Any history would be most helpful. They claim very low mileage?? Lastly, I’d like contact info for the Ohio owner to return some personal items found inside. Thank you
Tom, you will need to locate the VIN on the motorcycle which might be on the frame or the front forks. Then you can contact the Ohio BMV to inquire about registration, titling and obtaining a license plate
I have a 1970 Honda motorcycle with no ownership. It doesn’t have a license plate so I have no idea which state it was sold in. Honda has confirmed it is a US motorcycle. How can I find out the licensing history on this vintage motorcycle so I can get an ownership for it?
thx
Deb, unfortunately we do not have the ability to lookup vintage license plate numbers or most any vehicle that was manufactured before the 1980’s
I found a 1960 license plate and I would like to find the name of the person that it was registered to. Specifically. I am interested in whether it was a relative.

Gary, thanks for reaching out about our Ohio license plate lookup blog. Unfortunately Ohio license plate numbers from 1932 are older than what we have in our database so we can not directly weigh in on if that is an Ohio dealer plate or not. We did however do some research and it sounds like it’s possible that is a dealer license plate number that starts with an X
Hi, I am looking at a 1932 Ohio License plate. It starts with X1. I want a 1932 Dealer plate. They claim it is. Did they start with X?

A man (stranger in her 40s perhaps?) in a blue pickup truck pulled into the driveway while my daughter (16 yrs old) was taking the dogs out to go to the bathroom. He got out of the truck and asked if the dogs are friendly and could he meet them. My daughter told him “no” and hastened back into the house. She made note of his license plate number.
We would like to know if it is legal for us to request his Ohio BMV information based on his license plate number.
