License plates are dynamic in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], generating random 7 character license numbers that consist of both letters and numbers, and are divided into groups of four and three characters. Each of the three major cities in [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]] have their own plates and some vehicles have their own custom license numbers.

For [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], license plates in both games feature a "LC" (Liberty City) and "VC" (Vice City) prefix, respectively, followed by a four-digit number. While still more varied than in GTA III and GTA Vice City, the games only offer a limited number of license numbers, with each of them specific to certain vehicles models.

In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], license plates 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.
