I am aware of several online resources that allow for a user to submit
just a vehicles License Plate number to obtain the name and address of
the vehicle's owner.

For Example:

https://www.bestpeoplesearch.com/service/18/search.asp

Provides "All Information on File From DMV Pertaining to the Vehicle,
Registered Owner and Lien Holder"

---

Now here's the question:

All of the services I have been able to find charge at least $50 for
the name/address of the plate's owner.  And that's $50 / car.

The Goal:
Please try to locate an online service that can provide the name and
mailing address of a vehicle's owner just from the vehicle's plate
number.  The service should be able tp process "batch requests" - i.e.
can provide the contact and ownership in for for 100+ license plates -
at a cost of no more that $1 / license plate.  (Hopefully, even less!)

Good luck!

I'm aware that the Department of Motor Vehicles is an entity that has
such data on record...

I'm specifically looking for a company/organization which will
provides the service for the client (i.e. takes the list of license
plate numbers and returns the desired contact info, at at cost of $1
or less per number)

Thanks!

Please let me know how the research is coming along...

Thanks!

Personally, I know of no such LEGAL source for the information you
seek at the price range you suggested. Being in law enforcement
myself, and as a certified user of the National Crime Information
Center computer network, I can tell you that there are SERIOUS legal
implications associated with the unauthorized distribution of license
plate information that will likely prevent you from obtaining this
information in the manner you desire from sources other than those you
mentioned.

There are a couple of companies that can provide this information,
however there are a several considerations before they will.

Some states are fairly open with their info, others will only provide
if you have a legitimate reason to do so, and others will not provide
at all. It all depends on the state you are interested in and the
reason you need the information.

I am a private investigator in Oregon and use DMV databases regularly.
The least expensive sources I have found charge between $5 and $7 per
request and you have to jump through a number of hoops to become their
customer.

Best of Luck
