Yes, your insurance company may be able to find a person with the license plate number, depending on the circumstances and information available to them.
In some cases, insurance companies may have access to databases or tools that allow them to search for information about a vehicle, including its owner and their contact information. This may include records from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or other government agencies.
Additionally, if you are involved in a car accident or other incident and provide your insurance company with the license plate number of the other driver, they may be able to use this information to track down the driver and gather more information about the incident.
However, there are also limitations to what insurance companies can do with license plate information. For example, they may not be able to access information about a driver’s criminal history or other personal information without a legal basis or permission.
It’s worth noting that laws and regulations around the use of license plate information can vary by jurisdiction, so the specific rules and limitations may differ depending on where you are located. In any case, if you have questions or concerns about your insurance company’s use of license plate information, you should consult with them directly or seek legal advice.
