Can you trace the owner of a number plate?
Can you trace who owns a number plate I want to buy?
We are often asked if we can trace the owner of a particular registration number. But unfortunately this is not possible. We cannot do this for you as it is protected information.
We understand that you may wish to trace the owner in order to make an offer for the registration number.

Why can't I trace a number plate?
Individuals' data is protected under the Data Protection Act. Only certain organisations, such as the police and the DVLA have access to that information.
If you think about it... if that was your information, you probably wouldn't everyone to be able to access it.
