in 17 of the 50 states, this is considered public information and available to anyone. You can check out www.publicdata.com to see the states that allow it.
It's amazing how everyone says this is not legal, but this website has been around since at least 1998. You'd think the Government would have shut them down by now if it was not legal, but instead, they keep adding more states.
Texas (where I live) was the first state to allow this, and when this website launched, it was free, and Texas was the only state you could search. Now you can search 17 of them.
The last time I ran my license plate number, it came up listed under my name and address.

The absolutely free reverse vin check sites generally provide fake information. To get real information, money will have to be paid. The free searches provide fake information so they can get your email address to send spam.
Stay away from shady reverse vin check sites, most likely you won't get any information after you make the payment. Not to mention you won't get a report and you won't get an answer if you try to call for a refund. Stick with a reputable reverse vin check site like http://www.reversevincheck.net that has been around since 1995.

That is personal info, and you will not be able to access it. If you enter the plate/vin, you will be given non-personal info, and no registered/legal owner info. For security reasons, the DMV will not disclose that info, would you want someone that is pissed off at you, calling up the DMV, get your address and come over to your place and do you in? Think about it, if you need this info for some other reason, contact the Public Disclosure Unit for your state, they will tell you what information you are able to receive.

You need a LEGAL reason to obtain motor vehicle registration data (e.g., you were the victim of a hit-and-run). Otherwise, such data is private and confidential, as per the Drivers Privacy Protection Act, and is not openly available to the general public.

In most States / Provinces , FOR A FEE, the motor vehicle department will sell you the name of the most recent registered owner of the vehicle, but they WILL NOT give you their address. That information gets into the "privacy" thing.

You can't, you will need to request police assistance with this one.
Just fyi though, if you have someones drivers license number you can check them out online.

YES YOU CAN!!!
why would you tell this guy that you can't??
look, just go on to the website listed.
of course you will have to pay a small fee, and it will be noted that you looked up that license plate.
so if you're planning on killing someone who cut you off, you might wanna look it up and wait about 6 months before doing so, that way it won't come back to you...
(saw it on a tv show, lol)
