    What if a car has not moved for over 6 months and tags are out of date like 2013.

    1. squarryadministratorsays:

      It’s possible that it’s an abandoned vehicle. You can reach out to the police and have that vehicle removed if it’s on your property. If it’s on the street and hasn’t been moved then you might want to report it in any case since it’s a possible abandoned vehicle.

      How to Report an Abandoned Vehicle

      If you suspect a vehicle has been abandoned you can report this to your local police to have it removed. Make sure to have a full description of the vehicle as well as the license plate number and VIN if possible. The police will then send a notification to the last registered owner of the vehicle that their vehicle has been impounded.

      First, hopefully everyone is OK. Please seek medical attention if there are any injuries from the car accident. Next, you will want to file a police report and give them the license plate number and make and model of the vehicle if you know this. Then follow up and notify your insurance company and provide them with the police report number. If the vehicle did not stop or acknowledge the accident, this is called a “hit and run” and you will follow the same process outlined above but without the other vehicle owner and insurance information.

      How Do I Report a Hit and Run Car Accident?

      First make sure everyone is OK. Then call the police as soon as everyone is safe and out of harms way. Once the police officer has arrived, give them all your information including driver’s license, registration and insurance. Then tell the officer you would like to file a Hit and Run report and give them and details of the other vehicle. Once you have a Hit and Run report number, notify your auto insurance company.

    Wreakless driver

    1. squarryadministratorsays:

      Reckless driving and distracted driving can be very serious when it puts other people on the road in danger. Your best option to help the situation is to contact the police or call 911 if you think this is a drunk driving situation. Please do not attempt to thwart the situation yourself as this could lead to a dangerous situation.

      Calling 911 on Reckless Drivers

      Calling 911 indicates a serious situation. If you notice a reckless driver, dangerous distracted driving or a super aggressive driver then you should call 911. Please note that calling 911 is for emergencies so if you see a reckless driver putting other people at risk then calling 911 is appropriate.

  8. Susan Pettersonsays:

    I have been billed for a toll that I am not responsible for. I need to find out who owns this car.

    1. squarryadministratorsays:

      In this situation your best option would be to contact the agency that sent you the Toll violation and dispute this charge. This should be as easy as showing them evidence of your vehicle with the license plate number on your registration. Sometimes the toll company will also take a picture to verify who is driving. This should also be evidence that it wasn’t you. These mistakes happen from time to time and you should be able to easily sort this out with the Toll agency. See below for how to contest a Toll Violation with the bill you were sent

      How to Dispute a Toll Violation

      Disputing a toll violation can be done by filling out the “Contest of Notice” portion of the toll evasion you’re accused of. Submit an explanation of why you are contesting the toll violation. Then mail in the form and wait for it to be reviewed. This may take a few weeks to process. You can also go online to dispute your charges with the relevant state toll road agency

    1. squarryadministratorsays:

      Matt, it really depends on the state in which you registered your vehicle. You will probably need to visit the DMV in person to find out what to do next and get it registered in your name. See below for the most common way a vehicle title transferred when purchasing a used vehicle.

      How to Transfer a Vehicle Title

  13. Mr. Bobsays:

    Why are there so few license plate number variations compared with the vehicle identification number?

    1. squarryadministratorsays:

      That is a good question about the difference between a license plate number and a vehicle identification number. Read more below to understand how a license plate search works and a VIN check works.

      Difference Between a License Plate Number and VIN

      A license plate number refers to the registration of a vehicle to a person and is managed on a state level. A VIN , or vehicle identification number , is a 17 digit alpha-numeric code that is attached to a vehicle by the manufacturer and describes all the features and characteristics of a vehicle

  14. Jeff Ksays:

    In Oklahoma there are lots of Native American tribes that issue license plates. Can these be searched here as well?

    1. squarryadministratorsays:

      That is a good question about Native American License Plates. Typically license plates are issued by the state and are managed on a state level but several Native American Tribes issue and register license plates to member’s of that tribe. That being said, we do not have access to the Native American License Plate information. You will need to contact the relevant Native American Tribe to inquire about a vehicle that has been registered within that Tribal Nation.

      Native American License Plates

      Native American License Plates in the United States can be issued and registered by Native American Tribes. Some Native American Tribes issue license plates for official use only and some Tribes issue license plates for person and official use. The issuing and registration of Native American License Plates vary with different tribes. These license plates are recognized by the state and local governments.

  45. charles smithsays:

    what if some one steals my licenes plates what do i do next

    1. squarryadministratorsays:

      Charles, you will first want to report it to the police and then your auto insurance company and the DMV. The DMV will most likely issue you a new license plate with a new license plate number since your license plate was stolen

    Illinois has 100s of different types of license plates. How would I format the input to return the right one? I.e., ##### F over F, a B-truck plate, or an environmental plate.

We offer vehicle record resources for reference only and do not have a direct affiliation with the DMV in any state. Please reach out if you have any other vehicle related questions.
