- Tempest1981 2y agoMaybe this? $0.05 per request https://platetovin.com/about#pricing https://platetovin.com/about#pricing But how are they getting the data?
- bombcar 2y agoMost states have the data publicly available if you know where to look or how to request.
- _rs 2y agoUhh this seems like a big fact to gloss over, and something I am quite surprised by. Could you point to any examples as I’m having a hard time finding anything available publicly from any DMVs/states
- pests 2y agoIn Michigan anyone can do a in-person plate lookup for about $15 and it comes back with complete registration information including name and address. VIN and car details as well.
- bombcar 2y agoThat’s usually the kicker - requests have to be done in person but other than that there’s not much limitation.
- _rs 2y agoThe $15 makes this pretty hard to scale too. The link someone posted was $0.05/request. I'd love to see how/where you can get this data in bulk from a primary source.
