Michigan?s Motor Vehicle Registration Status Inquiry

Michigan maintains a searchable web site that allows dealers and others to verify if a vehicle purchaser can be denied registration under Michigan's "Repeat Offender Law" (MCL 257.219). 

The Web site verifies if the name, date of birth (DOB), and driver?s license number or state identification card number appearing on a Michigan driver?s license or state identification card match department records.

This law prohibits people with a suspended or revoked driver?s license from buying or transferring a license plate. The law also prohibits the Department of State from registering any vehicle owned, co-owned, leased, or co-leased by drivers subject to registration denial.
