'''[[wp:Vehicle registration plate|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. | '''[[wp:Vehicle registration plate|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.

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, with the exception of the immovable trailers found ingame, which all bear the registration "ON-10N EC". Beneath the registration name is "[[Liberty City State]]". These license plates are based directly on 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 GTA San Andreas. | In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], license plates do not have an actual letter-number combination.

The license plates in [[Grand Theft Auto V]] are indicated to be registered in the [[state of San Andreas]] and is modeled after the design specifications of [[wp:Vehicle registration plates of California#Baseplates 1963 to present|the Californian baseplate design for 1994—1998 and 2000—present]]. As opposed to adopting a cursive typeface for the state name, however, the San Andreas plate uses a block typeface for reminiscent of Californian baseplate from 1987 to 1994. The plates are also implied to be dynamic, following a eight-character format that consists of two single digit numbers followed by three letters and three more single digit numbers (i.e. 12ABC123), similar to the format used on California plate since 1980 but bearing only a single digit number before the sequence of letters ("1ABC123"). | |||
registered to [[San Andreas]], and is to be dynamic, appearing with a random series of eight letters and numbers. | |||
