Find South Carolina Vehicle Owner Information by License Plate
Generally, you cannot find out the personal details or contact information for the owner of a vehicle from a reverse license plate search.
This information is protected by the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act, and is typically reserved for law enforcement or other official state or federal agencies.
Drivers are able to request their own information directly from the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
If there is a qualifying reason for the request, they may be able to obtain the details of other owners from the DMV as well.
Contact the South Carolina DMV for further details.
Where can you find your South Carolina license plate number?
Obviously, the easiest place to find a license plate number is directly on the plate itself.
Your South Carolina license plate number is the combination of numbers, letters, and other characters that are the largest thing on the license plate.
But, if you had that, you probably wouldn’t be asking where to find it.
If your vehicle has been stolen, lost, or damaged, and you don’t have access to the license plate, you’re not out of options.
Fortunately, there are some other places you can look to find your South Carolina license plate number. The main places to check for your license plate number include:
- The South Carolina certificate of title.
- Your registration paperwork.
- Your car insurance documents.
- The bill of sale, if you bought the vehicle in a private sale.
If you still cannot find your license plate number from those documents, you may be able to find it using your VIN.
