  Vehicle registration plate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A vehicle registration plate, usually called license plate or number plate (often referred to simply as a plate, or colloquially tag) is a small metal or plastic plate attached to a motor vehicle for official identification purposes.
The plate has a serial number on it which is the same on all plates attached to the vehicle, the purpose of which is to identify the vehicle uniquely from others on roads, usually within the same country.
License plates have been around almost as long as automobiles, appearing in the earliest period of the transition from the horse, 1890 to 1910.
