How to Find the Owner's Phone Number Through the License Plate Number?
2 Answers
You can find the owner's phone number through the license plate number, but it involves the owner's personal privacy. Generally, the traffic police department or vehicle management office will not assist in the search. The license plate number is the identification plate of the vehicle. Here is some relevant information: 1. The vehicle license plate number is a legal mark registered by the statutory authority, permitting the vehicle to drive on the road. It is the identification number of the vehicle and is usually hung in a specific position of the motor vehicle. The first character of the license plate is a Chinese character, representing the provincial-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, which is the abbreviation of the (province, municipality, or autonomous region). 2. In principle, each prefecture-level administrative division in China occupies a license plate code. However, since each prefecture-level administrative division in China is divided into different districts, counties, or cities, different number segments are adopted to distinguish them on the license plate.
When I worked as a mediator in the community, I often dealt with minor vehicle scrape disputes. Looking up a car owner's phone number via license plate is considered a privacy violation—the official 122 police platform is the legal channel. If contact information wasn't exchanged after an accident, it's advisable to first report it to the police for documentation; traffic police can contact the other party through their system. For routine parking blockages, calling 114 for vehicle relocation service is recommended—they relay the call to the owner without disclosing the number. Nowadays, the Traffic Management 12123 App also features a 'One-Tap Relocation' function where uploading a photo can anonymously notify the car owner.
