Migrated to table form. It's getting messy with all those custom plate images.

In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], license plates differ from those in the [[GTA III Era]]. They 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.

== Custom plates ==
Custom plates were first explored in GTA Vice City, where [[Love Fist (vehicle)|Love Fist's limousine]] features ''LUVFIST'' plates, the only instance in the game where a custom license number exists. With the use of more flexible license in GTA San Andreas, more vehicles would appear with customized license numbers. However, the custom license plates cannot be saved in garages; once it is in a garage, the plate will become random.
