Will the DMV give information about someone if you give  license plate #?

In general, I think that you can somewhat appreciate that it  should be difficult to find out personal details about your neighbors. After all - that neighbor could be you, and I suspect that you'd be a little concerned if your neighbors could "find out what your story is" in the same way that you'd like to investigate your odd neighbor.\n\nThat being said, there are online services, some more reliable than others, that will sell you access to certain kinds of information. One of the identifiers that some of these services use to focus in on the right person is license plate numbers. Then again, many of these services are selling you information that you can obtain for free from public databases. You can easily spend $30-50 or more to obtain these "background reports". \n\nTry typing "License number" and "background" into any of the popular search engines, and some of the major players in this industry will pop up.\n\nYou didn't offer much in the way of details about this new neighbor of yours - keep in mind, for example, that college students who are making a temporary home in your state are not required to obtain a local license plate - I believe this is true of active duty military personnel, as well.\n\nGiven the risk of abuse and especially concerns about identity fraud, I don't imagine that any state's DMV will provide curious neighbors with indentifying information about the registered owners of particular plates.\n\n"Acting weird" should not be an infraction that carries the penalty of surrendering privacy. Unless you suspect your neighbor of some specific and actually illegal act, he should have the right to be left alone in his eccentricity. I sympathize with your "funny feeling", but unless you're willing to pay one of those rather shady anti-privacy sites for the info they really shouldn't be giving away in the first place - I can't imagine how you're going to figure out this guy's background from a license plate number.

Sometimes the police can find out this kind of information.  If you have a good (legal) reason for it, you could call your local law enforcement.  Also, try to contact the motor vehicle registration department and see what they say.

You can't legally do that. You can ask the police to investigate if there is an issue, and you can give the plate # to your insurance company if you have been in an accident. They can look up the information.

As a police officer in Texas, I say yes do call.  You do not have to give your name or other information if you do not want to over the phone.  The police department may have caller ID, but the police officers SHOULD  not give our your name if you remained anonomous.  \n\nCall and keep calling each time it happens.  This creates a record.  It also pisses of the police when they have to keep going back for that same person.  Depending on your state and your laws, the process is different on what can happen.

Yeah, right. You send me your name, address, social security number, credit card information, driver's license number and I'll send you mine.

Most state's driver license department use only name and date of birth as Identifiers. So if you know what state this person is in,  it will be possible to find then using the Department of Transportation database.

check with the local DMV - you will probably have to take the test before they give you the answers

You should be able to as long as it has a picture and date of birth... it should actually be better than a state issued i.d. - it's a federal issued I.D

nothing that is available to the public. Yes law enforcement has a database. Serial numbers of property get entered when stolen like a vin/plate of a stolen car. If property is recovered by law enforcement they can run it in the system and it will come back with a hit if the serial number has been entered. Do you suspect you have stolen property in your possession? If you do take it down to your local police station and explain that you have this in your possession and want to be sure it was not stolen. Be honest with them because they will ask how you got it and who/where you got it from.

You can usually get an identification card from the local dept. of motor vehicle
