How to Look Up a License Plate Number for Free

Finding the owner of a license plate will probably take some searching.

Upon first glance at a search query on the Internet, it may seem that it is possible to look up a license plate number of an individual for free. However, upon further investigation, you will most likely discover that unless you are a police officer, you can't look up a license plate number for free. Many ways exist to obtain this information, but you will have to pay a fee.

Instructions

1. Locate an online private investigation database by doing a search query on the Internet. Choose a website and enter in the required information such as the license plate number, and the state of the registered car. Click on "order now." You will then be taken to a check-out page where you pay the requested one-time fee. The information will usually be sent to you within one business day.

2. Register for a subscription service. License plate search is one example of a subscription service. Paying for a subscription service means that you will get access to a database of information and you will do the searching rather than a private investigation service doing the search for you. Access to your results when using a subscription service will be delivered at the time of the search.

3. Hire a private detective. If you would like truly detailed information on a license plate as well as the license plate owner, and you have the money to spend, then a private detective may be a good choice. Your work is minimized because the private detective will do all the searching for you. You will also receive more information than just the name of the owner of the license plate.
