Scott, you may want to contact the Tennessee DMV to discuss this or perhaps legal counsel since this sounds like it could be a situation where someone might have a fake license plate that you’re getting in trouble for so that you can have your parking violation removed.
I have received a parking violation from a parking company in Nashville. I’ve never been to the parking facility. The picture of the violator is a completely different vehicle than mine but the Tennessee standard plate has the same number as my ‘American Eagle Foundation’ plate.
The parking company refuses to dismiss the ticket and associated fines. Just trying to find the legit owner of this SUV.
My tag is registered to a older model pickup. Thank you for any help.
John, we only allow certain reasons, as outlined in our terms of service and according to the PA state privacy laws. You must first read through this to verify if your reason is within the guidelines provided for you in our Tennessee vehicle record resources
As an HOA board of directors’ member, I get many complaints of vehicles parking on our public streets. Our city codes and our covenants allow only 4 vehicles per single family dwelling….some have as many as seven. I would like to run the tags to determine the registered address of the owner to determine if the vehicle belongs to a household member or a person who rents a room. Do you provide such service?
thank you
Brian, unfortunately our Tennessee license plate lookup resources only work on vehicles that were manufactured in the last 30 years. You will need to contact your local motor vehicle department to inquire about your question
I found an old picture of an individual leaning against an old car (40s?) with the license plate of the car in view. We have tried to identify the individual but no luck so far. The license plate # is 55-791. The ’55’ identifies it as a car registered in Smith County, TN at the time.
Is it possible to ID the car owner from the license plate to possibly identify the person in the picture?
Thanks.

I know someone who is selling drugs from her home. She has moved from the address I have in my phone book. I know for a fact she smokes marijuana in her car and she is transporting drugs from Columbia to to Nashville and the surrounding areas. She has two children and I worry about their safety. I want to give as much information to the police as possible and I don’t know if the license plate number will help track her down more quickly.
