My license is under suspension until September, and I found a really good deal on a car and I want to buy it...but not drive it until Sept. I'm pretty sure that I should be able to register the car in my name (just for ownership), but I wouldn't be able to operate the vehicle or obtain insurance until my driver's license is reinstated...which is fine because I plan to have the car towed immediately after purchase to my private garage, where it will be stored until September. Is it true that I can still claim ownership of the car? I have a friend who has a car, and the car is in her's and her father's name....but her father does not have a driver's license...it is just registered in both of their names, and she drives the car.
HELP!! Everyone's telling me different things! I need to prove my boyfriend wrong!

A drivers license is a document to drive any vehicle. You may buy 50 cars and register them in your name, even if you have no legal right to drive them. The title to a vehicle is the ownership of it. It has nothing to do with your legal ability to drive it.
Look at it this way. You own a vehicle and it is mandated by a court that you cannot drive it. This does not mean you do not own the vehicle, but only that you are not legally able to drive it. Anyone can drive your car if your or their insurance allows that. .

You can own the car and even register it if you list another driver with your insurance company. If you don't want to register it until you get your license back, you can still apply for and receive a title for the vehicle.

Better double check with your state D.O.T., but I have NEVER had to show my license when registering a car. ( I have lived in 14 states)
