What makes our Michigan license plate search different?
With our online license plate search tool, you can run a Michigan license plate search to gather specific info about a Michigan vehicle you’re interested in learning more about. Our search tool utilizes a massive database of public records provided by the Michigan Department of State at Michigan.gov, NMVTIS and other third-party data sources like J.D. Power.
No matter where you live in the “mitten,” you can use Bumper to find all the details you need on a Michigan-based vehicle (and the Upper Peninsula)!
While it’s known as the Great Lakes State, Michigan is still well known for its love of cars. After all, Detroit earned its moniker of Motor City for a reason! With a population of 10 million-plus while being home to the Big Three in Ford, GM, and Chrysler, vehicles are a literal way of life in MI.
Our Michigan license plate searches can help you access data for vehicles around the entire state of Michigan, including its top 10 metro areas by population (2021):
- Detroit - Warren - Dearborn: 4.2 million
- Grand Rapids - Wyoming: 1 million
- Lansing - East Lansing 504,399
- Ann Arbor: 373,224
- Kalamazoo - Portage 346,169

How can a MI license plate lookup help you?
Our Michigan license plate search can provide you with vital information to help you find your way through the twists and turns of car ownership—whether you’re buying, selling or keeping.
Whether you live in or around the Detroit area or you’re a Yooper, our MI license plate search results can help you determine your vehicle’s market value in Michigan so you can set a reasonable asking price. And if you’re not buying directly off of the factory floor in MoTown, our license plate search can provide you with important details on a vehicle’s history. Some of this might include any impact to a vehicle from an accident or lemon law designation, as well as salvage title issues caused by hail, tornadoes, flooding, or Michigan’s notoriously harsh winters.
Issues like these can make even the coolest of cars go from the top of your wish list to the top of your list of regrets. But with our extensive vehicle reports, you can avoid the lemons.
In short, from vehicle shopping to buying, maintaining and selling your vehicle, a Bumper subscription can make it all simple. (And if you’re trying to decide between a few different options for your next car, we can help you compare vehicles side by side.)

Why use our Michigan license plate search?
At Bumper, we can guide you through the challenging waters of vehicle research. Rather than using more expensive competitors or combing through various databases of public records, you can use our Michigan license plate lookup.
We’ll do all the legwork for you and compile information you may need to know about a particular Michigan vehicle—all in one online dashboard, iOS and Google mobile apps, and downloadable PDF form.
Do you need front and rear license plates in Michigan?
Yes, you need front and rear license plates in Michigan, although there may be exceptions for motorcycles, mopeds and some commercial trucks or trailers.
The dual-plate requirement is common in many states because it makes it easier for law enforcement to identify vehicles. It’s also helpful in instances of motorist liability issues. But if you see a vehicle with a license plate from a neighboring state, such as Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, or even New York, we can help you look up its info too!
Front and rear plates also make it more convenient to find the license plate number of Michigan-registered vehicles you might be interested in learning more about.
However, if you already have a vehicle’s identification number (or VIN), we can help you run a VIN search!
