In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], license plates differ from those in the [[GTA III Era]]. They do not have an actual letter-number combination. Every vehicle that has a license plate has "LIBERTY CITY" in large blue capital letters. If a player zooms in with the analog sticks, or with a sniper rifle, they can see that it says "Liberty City State" . These license plates are almost an exact clone of the current [[wp:New York (state)|New York]] license plates, as seen [http://www.netstate.com/states/links/images/ny_license_plate.jpg here]. It is possible that the plates were intended to have a letter-number combination, much like the vehicles in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], but it may have been forgotten during the game's development.

File:GTA IV Number Plate.JPG
An unassigned Liberty City license plate in a pre-release screenshot for Grand Theft Auto IV.

Vehicle license plates are introduced in Grand Theft Auto III with the player's ability to explore in a three-dimensional environment making plates viewable. The feature has very little use aside for cosmetic purposes.

Description

License plates in GTA III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City are static textures, with all plates in GTA III reading LC R29 and all in GTA Vice City illegible but have a Florida state plate. License plates are dynamic in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. The plates have randomly generated numbers and letters. Each of the three major cities in San Andreas have their own plates and some vehicles have their own custom licence plate lettering.

In Grand Theft Auto IV, license plates differ from those in the GTA III Era. They do not have an actual letter-number combination. Every vehicle that has a license plate has "LIBERTY CITY" in large blue capital letters. If a player zooms in with the analog sticks, or with a sniper rifle, they can see that it says "Liberty City State" . These license plates are almost an exact clone of the current New York license plates, as seen here. It is possible that the plates were intended to have a letter-number combination, much like the vehicles in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, but it may have been forgotten during the game's development.

Custom plates

Custom plates were first explored in GTA Vice City, where Love Fist's limousine features LUVFIST plates, the only instance in the game where a custom license number exists. With the use of more flexible license in GTA San Andreas, more vehicles would appear with customized license numbers. However, the custom license plates cannot be saved in garages; once it is in a garage, the plate will become random.
