In most states, the title to a vehicle must be in the name of the person who is applying for the license plate. However, there are some states that do allow people who are not the owners of a vehicle to get plates for it. In these states, the person who is not the owner may need to provide a copy of the title, a bill of sale, or another document that shows their legal right to the vehicle.
It is important to check with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in the state where you live to find out the specific requirements for getting a license plate.
