Car registration?

Question

If i have a number plate, can i find out what area the car is currently registered in. I tried the DVLA but they will only tell me where the car was originally registered, i need to find out where it is registered now. Any ideas?

Answer 1

have you any friends in the police force who can run a pnc check for you, just a thought

Answer 2

No, you cannot, I'm afraid.  DVLA will release details of keeper, address etc if you can prove your need to have them, on application by you on their form with a fee.  They will not disclose for "social" reasons.  All down to the dear old Data Protection Act, and rightly so.

Answer 3

is it a private plate? if it is a standard issue then you can only find out where it originates.  if it is a private plate then i am afraid you can not find out any info on it other than its estimated value.
