State Driver License Formats
- To search a license plate number you will need the full license plate number and the state of registration. License plates have the state listed on the plate itself. Once you have the full plate number and state you can search and lookup vehicle information, vehicle specs, possibly owner information, VIN number.
- Although the exact rules differ between states, most drivers in the U.S can access their driving records by submitting a request to the state department of motor vehicles. If you just want to know your former driver's license number, you should be able to get this information with a phone call or visit to the relevant DMV office.
