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.

The license plates in [[Grand Theft Auto V]] are registered in the [[San Andreas in GTA V|state of San Andreas]] and come in five varieties modelled after the designs of [[wp:Vehicle registration plates of California|various Californian baseplates]]: yellow on black (like those used from 1963 to 1969), yellow on blue (like those used from 1969 to 1982), blue on white with the state name in red block capitals (like those used from 1987 to 1994), blue on white with the state name in red italics (like those used from 1994 to the present day), and blue on white with "SA EXEMPT" in red, reserved for emergency vehicles. The plate numbers are dynamic, following an eight-character format that consists of a two-digit numbers followed by three letters and a three-digit number (i.e. "12ABC123"), similar to the format used on Californian plates since 1980 ("1ABC123"). The player can create custom vanity plate numbers via the [[iFruit]] app.

A sixth variety, similar to the 1982-1987 plates but with a more colourful background, is seen in the game's first trailer, but doesn't appear in the final game. A seventh plate is exclusive to the [[Pigalle]] - the plate is in a European style, with the [[Lampadati]] logo to the left. The plate numbers are dynamic, following an eight-character format that consists of a two-digit numbers followed by three letters and a three-digit number (i.e. "12ABC123"), similar to the format used on Californian plates since 1980 ("1ABC123").
