Does the Name on the Vehicle registration have to match name on the Insurance Policy

Okay, there is registered owner. That is the person who has care, custody, and control of a vehicle. That person buys insurance. There is the legal owner. If the registered owner is the person who buys the car, he/she is the legal owner. If the registered owner has leased a car, the leasing company is the legal owner. The registered owner still buys the insurance. The difference comes into play in the event of a write-off situation, when the insurance payout goes to the leasing company, because the vehicle belongs to them. The registered owner cannot sell a vehicle unless he/she is the legal owner.

No, but it does have to match the vehicle. The VIN number showing on the insurance has to be for the vehicle insured. *I* could go put insurance on your car if I wanted to.
