What does the number sticker on the back window of cars without plates signify?
The sticker that you are asking about is called a temporary license tag this is issued to the vehicle owner until they can come up with the money to get the plates on the car and pay the sales tax, title fee, license fee, get insurance and the car inspected before paying to get the plates on the car and they have 30 days from the date of issue to get them and if they go passed the 30 days there is a late fee that is cahrged. So if you bought a car today (1-17-06) and recieved the temporary plates and paid ( here in Missouri 10.00 for them then you would have until 2-17-06 to get the plates And for your other questions it is just a matter of time before they get stopped and cited for it or in a wreck and get a huge ticket for not being plated and registered. and the number on the sticker is the temporary registration number to the sticker and to signify to the dmv that you have at least registered the vehicle for temp tags at the dmv (department of motor vehicle.) Hope this helps.
