The Repeat Offender inquiry allows dealers and others to learn if a vehicle purchaser is ineligible for license plates and subject to registration denial under Michigan's "Repeat Offender Law" (MCL 257.219). This law prohibits the Department of State from registering any vehicle owned, co-owned, leased, or co-leased by certain repeat offenders.
