yes, its possible. read this article from topgear...

Find out a vehicle's details by texting its plate number to LTO service - Tip Sheet

in relation to this, it is not only posting online that some people are trying to blur their plates. some are fond of smoking their plates glass casings so dark beyond recognition. i noticed some in edsa traffic, you can't barely even read the plate numbers in front of you. siguro ang purpose para hindi makilala kapag nag hit-and-run
