No it isn't, I could register a vehicle into a false name right now.
And the number of vehicles I see registered without an address would surprise you too.

Buyers are liars - salesmen are worse. (I'm a salesman, I can say this)

You don't need a driver's licence to rego or transfer . You do need something that (purportedly) proves identity. Passport is accepted, various ID cards (as used in more totalitarian countries) will do, others probably depending on how hard you argue. Must have Name, date of Birth, and signature.

No requirement at all to prove address. Only problem with giving a completely false address is you won't get the papers they mail you.

All the justification you need. No worries sleeping at night now cause you are only doing unto them.

Again more justification for your dealer lies. Maybe a lot of them have little or no mechanical knowledge. Some (most) people aren't into cars and motors and oil and shit. Many cars come from japan sans owners manuals (or with japanese ones) do the dealers bother to get a readable one? No.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Let's face it Scummy knows about this stuff.
He helps to uphold the above standards on our behalf.

Lou and Ixion, sorry yes you're right, passport will suffice.

Not justification, just balancing the arguement in this one sided debate. And in the ten yrs I've been involved in tis industry I have never once acted to decieve a customer, not once. hand on heart. But the number of times I've had it tried on me by the public, countless, every day in fact. But that doesn't affect my attitude, I still come to work hoping to do the best I can for my clients. The satisfaction you get from helping someone into their next vehicle makes the job worth it. I pride myself on my aftersales service, even helping clients when I'm not obliged to, because it makes good business sense.

See I'm in tis game for the long haul, I want to sell to sell again. There will always be liars, bad eggs if you will in any given industry. Just in this one it is very easy to make a lot of money. Even easier if you have no morales.
