Interesting, on the basis of the above and similar information read elsewhere I, as a private individual, have very recently asked for contact details of the registered keeper/owner of a vehicle with a specific registration.
My reasons seem good to me and are "reasonable" but fall within the "other" category on the forms they ask you to use. It will be interesting to see what the reply is!
The reply linked to above says
Quote:
Regulation 27 of Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations 2002
allows vehicle keeper details to be disclosed to third parties who can demonstrate
that they have a reasonable cause to receive it. This Regulation provides a legal
gateway for the release of information and is not based on the consent of the data
subject.

Of course "reasonable" is not defined, and to a cynic may be seen as "makes money for DVLA".
