Abstract: A vehicle identification means serve to identify vehicles by means of a unique identification. The protection of such identifications against falsification and tampering proves particularly problematic. For this purpose, known vehicle identification means have data carriers which can be read out in a contactless fashion and on which data for permitting unambiguous identification are stored. However, such identification means are very complex in design and are susceptible to faults. The invention provides an improved vehicle identification means which has a design which is as simple as possible and has a lower level of susceptibility to faults. This is ensured in that at least one NFC transponder which can be read out in a contactless fashion and has the purpose of near-field communication with a data carrier and an antenna is assigned to a registration number plate body, wherein at least part of the antenna is arranged in a breakthrough.

Abstract: The sequence of characters provided for an individual license plate is embossed in a license plate blank. The known methods are very time-intensive and inflexible. The invention achieves a method and a device for embossing license plates, in particular motor vehicle license plates, said method and said device being easy to handle and flexible to use. This is achieved in that a handling installation retrieves the embossing die parts required for the respective license plate to be embossed from a magazine and successively places said embossing die parts onto two die holding frames.

Abstract: A method and a device with which a license plate can be produced in a favorable fashion. This is achieved by assigning a sticker to a license plate body of the license plate or to a metal plate in order to produce a multiplicity of license plate bodies. Very precise positioning of a data carrier in a receptacle of a license plate body of a license plate is particularly costly. Increased fabrication costs are to be expected owing to the necessary precision and the associated complexity of the production process of a license plate having a data carrier.

Abstract: License plates (10) and number plates of vehicles are frequently forged or used for altered or stolen vehicles. To prevent this, license plates (10) are known, with which a contactlessly readable identification means (19) is associated in a license plate surface (12). This identification means (19) contains relevant data of the vehicle to which the license plate (10) belongs. As the license plate surface (12) is provided, primarily for motor vehicle identification or as a surface for the lettering (15), with numbers and digits for identification purposes, only little space or limited space remains for a further identification means (19). The invention provides a license plate (10) for a vehicle having an identification means (19), in which the at least one identification means (19) is associated with the periphery (13) of the license plate (10) which surrounds the license plate surface (12).

Abstract: A vehicle identification means (10) that has an at least partially electrically conductive film (12) and a hologram (36) and/or a reflective film. In addition, at least one data carrier (26), which can be read out in a contactless manner, having an antenna is provided. The hologram (36) is implemented as an antenna for the data carrier (26). A separate antenna is therefore no longer necessary. In addition, multiple antennas can be provided in parallel.

Abstract: An identification plate, in which at least one security sign is arranged within the contours of a cover layer. As a result, the security sign is embedded in the cover layer and thus becomes an integral component of the identification plate. Such a security sign can no longer be removed from the identification plate. The identification plate according to the invention thus offers as much protection against manipulation as possible.
