Yes, CA requires two license plates per the vehicle code:\n\nVehicle Code   Front License Plate Bracket\n11713.17.   \n(a) Following the retail sale or lease of a motor vehicle for which the department issues two license plates, a dealer may not deliver the motor vehicle unless either of the following occurs:\n\n(1) The motor vehicle is equipped with a bracket or other means of securing a front license plate.\n\n(2) The dealer obtains a signed written acknowledgment from the person taking delivery of the motor vehicle acknowledging both of the following:\n\n(A) The person expressly refused installation of a bracket or other means of securing the front license plate.\n\n(B) The person understands that California law requires a license plate to be displayed from and securely fastened to the front of the motor vehicle and that the hardware necessary to securely fasten the front plate is available from the dealer.\n\n(b) A manufacturer or distributor may not sell or distribute in this state a new motor vehicle for which the department issues two license plates, unless that motor vehicle is equipped or provided with a bracket or other means of securing the license plates.\n\nI have gotten a ticket for not having the front one mounted before. It's very annoying.\nSign the petition-\nEradication of California's Front License Plate\nhttp://www.petitiononline.com/caplate/petition.html

Both are responsible,  the owner is responsible to have it, and the driver is responsible not to drive it unless it has.\n\nBoth can be ticketed if caught.\n\nNext someone owns it, if the person died, then who ever inherits his property is the new owner at that point.\n\nAlso once he died, you would be responsbile to return the car to the estate or the person how inherited the property, you do not have legal permission to use the car once the person who gave you that permission is dead

You would have to start with the State Department of Motor Vehicles.  Ask them what is public record and what they can tell you.  Do you know the plate # and you are looking for the owner?  Then you will need the DMV's help.  If you know the person and want to find the plate # that would be easier-just ask what vehicles are owned by that person.

You need to define what a "scooter" is to you.  Might want to look at 407.5 of the California Vehicle Code at the link below:

Yet another reason why I no longer live in California. Knowing CA, you will probably be without your license  unless and  until you pay the fine. They only want the money. Pony up if you want your license back in good standing. They take it for everything there.

He broke the law by moving the license plate. You should file a complaint against him for stealing your car. One does not own a car simply by having a license you paid for on it. It is still yours. Call your local police department's non-emergency number.

This varies state by state. In some states you are allowed to owner retain you vehicle.  Check with your state insurance commissioner

you can get one custom to have installed. it won't be huge though. try asking your local custom body shops if they can special order it, or cut one down for special order.

I had a Visa car with my dog's name on it.  It's quite legal because the responsible person is the parent and the card is simply a second card on the primary account.\n-MM

I think you need to have all the parts that your car came with.\n\nIf it came with a bumper then you better have one or you get a ticket.\n\nmy opinon.

A plate could be placed on the dashboard but there should be 2 plates to be places down on both ends as required by law.

Registrations only apply to a car, not the owner, so I don't see why not. The law does not say anything about it.

If you don't they will require a cosigner.  Do not purchase the vehicle if you can't pay for it.  It will only cost you more in the long run.

Your drivers license is an ID as long as it is current.\n\nIt is against the law to possess two from of ID from different states.

2 plates would be worth plenty to someone who wanted to use them on a 1924 car ... 1 plate, good shape, i'd go $20....and let the biding begin!!! lol
