Do you have a license plate or license plate number and need to find out the name and address of the vehicle owner? If so, you may have already realized that there is no free online database of license plate numbers.

Do not worry. There is still hope. If you need to do a reverse license plate number lookup online, here are several methods to achieve your goal.

• The first method is to hire a private investigator. Search your local phone book and access the private investigation pages. Start calling and get pricing on how much they charge to track license plates. You can expect to pay $ 150 to $ 300 to complete this service in your local area.

• The next method is to use a great online private investigation service like Abika.com or BestPeopleSearch.com. These services will charge you $ 79 or more to search by license plate number. Typically you will get a combination of the following information: first and last name, address, registration and expiration date, vehicle make and model, VIN number, title number, lien holder’s name. These services can usually get information for most states in the United States such as Canadian provinces. License plate data for additional countries is also available depending on the service.

• The third option is to join a private investigation tools membership service where you have access to databases and resources used by private investigators. These memberships typically start at $ 29 to $ 59 per year and give you access to all kinds of person search databases used by private investigators. This is a good option if you are willing to do the work yourself and want to save a little money. The downside to this option is that there is no guarantee that you will be successful in your search.

As you can see from the options above, there is no free reverse license plate search. The only way you can do it for free is if you know a law enforcement officer who will do the search for you (they have access to all databases).
