You don't need a license to purchase a motor vehicle. You are required by law to have insurance and registration to operate it, both requiring proof of a valid license. When you let your insurance or registration expire your license can be revoked, but that doesn't mean your vehicle gets revoked. Vehicles are property. Driving is the dangerous activity that requires licensing, not owning property.
- colechristensen 11y agoYes, you do. Most states require dealerships to verify insurance (and if it isn't a state law it's usually dealership policy) before letting you drive a car off their lot – having insurance requires a license. If the transaction isn't happening with a dealer you likewise still need a drivers' license to register the vehicle, and registration itself is a legal requirement.
