I see. Yes, the number does refer to the license plate, which is issued when the car if bought (or transferred from another car). But to complicate matters somewhat, the license plate number is repeated on the sticker, where (upon renewal) the new expiration date also appears.
good example of what does it but CALL can be literally to raise your voice to CALL out, or Call ON a Store, Call him, go and find the person and talk to them. Store still have signs that say Please Call Again, has nothing to do with a phone.
I knew people who were old enough to remember when Idaho sent out NEW Tags ,with tabs and you put them over the previuos year. So I would agree with Frank, WHEN Where, Why,
it happens quite frequently that wrong answers are chosen, not just by askers, but by the system because of number of "agrees" so don't take it personally. A quick Google tells you it's a synonym for a license plate number
There is a question about "tag numbers" in one of the language pairs, one where I posted an answer stating just that; a synonym of a "license plate number"
Unfortunately, there is another answer, saying it is a "license plate decal number", which is wrong, because these decals in Georgia display only "registration expiration date", they are not assigned and do not bear any other numbers.
This answer has also received 2 "agrees", and since the Asker hasn't done anything, it was automatically selected by proz system as the right answer.
I tried to convince my opposing colleague by posting a numerous examples proving my case, but I was dismissed by the statement "I know the local custom"
In the past century, 1940, the plate was metal and one received a small one inch square tag to go over the year, it was attached with small protrusions of the plate, the tabs. Look at https://forum.miata.net/vb/archive/index.php/t-163604.html Quote, I have a set of vintage 1949 Oregon license plates. I also have the "tags" or "tabs" that went with them for a few following years. The plates have some slots in them, and the tags are little metal stamped things that say "DEC 50" with a serial number stamped on the side, with little tabs that fit the slots. They cover up the "1949" that is stamped on the plate. These seem to be the predecessors of the modern sticker and I can see why they would be called either tags or tabs, because they are shaped like a tag and they are held onto the plates with tabs that you can bend.
In this official website of the State of Georgia https://dor.georgia.gov/motor-vehicles click "Tag Renewals" it goes to the page where it shows License Plate field requires License Plate Number.
