No. The insurance must be in the name of the owner of the vehicle. An insurance policy is a legally binding contract and if one party does not own the vehicle then the policy and thus the contract is void. The insurance company cannot pay a claim on a vehicle if the owner is not party to the contract. They also cannot legally pay the owner because they are not an insured person under the contract.

If you are the owner of a car can it be registered to someone else in one state but insured by you in another state or can the registrant insure it in a different state?

The owner of the car has to register the vehicle. The person on the registration must insure the vehicle, or be listed to drive that vehicle on a family policy. That example sounds close to insurance fraud so please correct the situation. Sell the car to the other person and they have to insure it. Actually it is 100% legal for a person to insure a vehicle registered in someone elses name so long as nothing illegal is going on...it can be the parents etc.....
