Can I Use Someone Else's Driver's License to Buy a Car?
2 Answers
Yes, but it must be with the other person's consent; otherwise, it cannot be processed, and there may be suspicion of identity fraud. Introduction to Driver's License: A driver's license, officially known as a motor vehicle driving license or simply "driver's license," is a legal document required for individuals to operate motor vehicles. Driver's License Categories: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, D, E, F, M, N, P.
I once helped a friend look at cars, which made me think of this question. Actually, you don't need a driver's license to buy a car; it mainly requires your ID card to prove your identity and ownership. When you go to a car dealership or used car market, they use your ID card to handle contracts and register the vehicle. A driver's license is proof that you can drive, and you might be asked to show it for a test drive when buying a new car. However, if you use someone else's license to buy a car, it's legal to register the vehicle under your name, but you must have your own license to drive it; otherwise, you could be fined for driving without a license. Insurance can also be problematic—if an accident occurs and the insurer finds a mismatch between the driver and the license, they might deny the claim. It's best to use your own documents to avoid disputes. In the car-buying process, identity proof is the most critical, while a driver's license is just an auxiliary tool for testing.
