  • In this canton at least (SG) ANYONE can find out the name and address of a cars owner simply using the car registration number in a SMS or internet enquiry. You need a SUITABLE REASON to supress your rego details from such enquiries. Shouldn't the ENQUIRER require the suitable reason?
Such openess was probably OK 20 years ago, but with the rise in crime (especially electronic) its no longer safe.

My $0.02 worth.
In Zurich you dont need to give any reason to delist your license plate. Just download the form named "Gesuch um Sperrung der Halterdaten im eAutoindex" at

http://www.autoindex.zh.ch/internet/.../de/forms.html

send it in to the SVA and youre done.
