This is illegal unless you have a "legal reason" and can convince the government.
Each place has different requirements for this.
Where I am our company has to be registered with the government, bonded and have a legal reason to know the info, all of this has to be applied for and approved before hand.
Then if a vehicle is left on our lot we can trace the owner and charge towing or storage fees. We are a licenced storage facility.

What is a VIN number, and how do I find it?

How do you find a deceased parent's 1979 Jeep CJ7 if you don't know the VIN or who the current owner is?
Try getting in touch with the DMV of the town it was registered in. Use the parents name and birthdate to find any registered vehicles they might have registered in last few years. If you have a pic of the vehicle with a clear view of the license plate, you can use the license plate # to track down a VIN with the DMV. If that isn't going to fly with the DMV, find out who insured the vehicle. Call them and request a copy of the insurance information. Explain to them your predicament. If you can find a VIN, you can request a search with the DMV for any and all jeeps of that year registered. If it's not registered... maybe found its way to a wrecking yard, you can ask to run it bye the auto recyclers listings "lists all vehicles salvaged and dismantled by VIN". Good Luck.
How do you find out who owns a car?
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on all modern vehicles can be used to locate the registered owner. Since the registered owner information also contains mailing address and other personal information, it is not readily available to the public. But, that number does tie the vehicle to an owner. The license plate 'could' be used to track the registered owner through the Motor Registration system (varies from U.S. State-to-State, and other countries), but the license plate is just a bolt on 'tag', which can be easily stolen and switched between vehicles. Therefore, it is not as reliable as using the VIN number, which is stamped or etched into the metal (and various hidden places) to ensure tracability.

How do you find registered owner of a car without a VIN number?
It depends on why you want the information. If you have a license plate number that is an alternative. If you don't have the license plate OR VIN number it is going to be pretty difficult. You would have to have a legitimate reason such as a hit and run or some other crime that the police were interested in pursuing during an investigation. Even if you had a VIN number you need a legitimate reason for finding out specific information like that. This is assuming that you are asking about a car that you do not know the VIN number to rather than a car not actually having a VIN number which is located in the drivers side dashboard by the windshield as well as other locations depending on year and vehicle. .
