vehicle identification

Registration plate purpose

Vehicle identification is the process or means of uniquely distinguishing a motor vehicle from others.

This typically involves the vehicle identification number (VIN), a standardized 17-character code assigned to every car and truck, encoding manufacturer, model year, and production details.

License plates provide visible identification for registration and law enforcement purposes.
