Tracing the current owner of a car

[ndp]

Is it possible to trace the current owner of a car through the registration number? If so, how?

Thanks.

If you know someone working in motor taxation , they should be able to do it for you. Or a garda could do it.

Except that they need a very good reason to do it. It's illegal to do a search for a friend.

AFAIK you can apply to your local tax office stating the reason for your enquiry. Costs around 8euro IIRC. Worst they can do is decline.

This is a website that you can trace any car. There are diofferent charges. I have no connection with this company. My daughter used it when she was looking at a car that she was considering buying.
