What Are License Plate Records?

What are License Plate Records?

License plate records hold all the basic details about a vehicle’s license plate number. Such records include owner information, vehicle history and technical specifications (such as year, make and model). According to the Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) there are some restrictions. In this case, conducting a license plate lookup needs either written consent, proving the link to licensed security or insurance services, or a statistical or business intent. Alternatively, it is also possible to do it for valid reasons connected to litigation, theft, driver safety, court orders or law enforcement.

Still, federal law rules that license plate records and driver information are considered public. According to the Freedom of Information Act, anyone has the right to access license plate records. By using our lookup tool, you can run as many searches as you wish. The resulting digital reports will be on your screen instantly and they will be very easy to understand.
