Legal Question in Traffic Law in Virginia

Tag number

Not sure what area to post this in. I am in a civil suit and want to send a subpoena to someone that was a witness. All I have is the license plate number. Is there a resource in VA that I can use to get information about the person legally? Is it even legal for me to get personal information based on a tag?

Re: Tag number

There are various ways to get the residence information of the person to whom the vehicle with that particular tag is registered. Some of these programs may be found on the Internet. Private investigators also usually have a contact in law enforcement who can access the information.

In this particular situation you should be more concerned about obtaining valid information regarding the whereabouts of the tagholder rather than the legality of how you obtained it.
