Can the owner's phone number be queried through the license plate number?

Knowing the license plate number allows you to inquire about the owner's information by calling 114 or 122, but corresponding permissions are required. Below is an introduction to the types of license plates: 1. New energy vehicle special license plates: Green background with black characters and black borders. New energy vehicle license plates feature a gradient green color, while large new energy vehicle license plates have a yellow-green dual-color scheme. 2. Large vehicle license plates: Yellow background with black characters and black borders, applicable to medium (and above) passenger vehicles, cargo vehicles, special-purpose vehicles, semi-trailer tractors, and electric vehicles. 3. Trailer license plates: Yellow background with black characters and black borders. 4. Small vehicle license plates: Blue background with white characters and white borders. 5. Embassy and consulate vehicle license plates: Black background with white characters, red "Embassy" or "Consulate" characters, and white borders. 6. Hong Kong and Macau entry-exit vehicle license plates: Black background with white characters, white "Hong Kong" or "Macau" characters, and white borders.
I just got my driver's license and thought about this question: Can you find the owner's phone number through the license plate number? Generally, ordinary people cannot access this information. The vehicle management office's data includes license plates and registration details, but private content like phone numbers is strictly protected by laws such as the Personal Information Protection Law, which prohibits unauthorized disclosure. If anyone could look it up, the privacy risks would be significant, such as harassment or fraud. I suggest not trying, as using black market methods could even be illegal. If there's a real issue, like a rear-end collision, reporting it to the police is the most reliable approach—they can legally access the information. Always protect your privacy for your own safety, and don't trust online services claiming to provide such information, as they are mostly scams.
As an enthusiast who frequently deals with vehicle-related matters, I understand why someone might want to check: there is no direct link between license plate numbers and owner phone numbers. Privacy rights are strictly regulated by law, and ordinary query channels do not provide access to phone data. In the vehicle management system, license plates are linked to vehicle ownership, but sensitive information such as phone numbers is only accessible to law enforcement when necessary, such as for checking violations or investigating cases. Unauthorized queries can lead to penalties, making it not worth the risk. I believe the safest approach is to respect others' privacy. In case of disputes, report directly to traffic police, who can professionally mediate to ensure the rights of all parties. Do not trust any tools or apps claiming to help you access such information, as these are often illegal.
