US and Canadian license plates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | In the United States and Canada, license plates are issued by an agency of the state or provincial government (or its equivalent, for example, the District of Columbia). |
 | | In the District of Columbia, the license plate is validated with a windshield sticker that indicates the expiration date, the license plate number, the year and make of vehicle, and part of the vehicle identification number, thereby allowing easier detection of fraudulent use. |
 | | This is an exception to the general rule in the US that license plates are issued by the state, and not the federal, government. |
