Is car registration information personal information?

It can be. Car registration information has a number of different components, such as a registration number and the name of the registered owner.

Personal information is any information that can tell you something about a specific individual. This means that a car’s number plate would not be personal information on its own - all you know from a number plate is the number itself, and the make and model of the car it’s attached to.

However, the owner’s name would be personal information. This is because these details tell you something about a person. In this case, car registration details are telling you that a particular person owns a specific car.
