FAS4513 — license plate combination

FAS4513 is filed as a generated example of the Washington sequential passenger serial — AAA9999 (3 letters + 4 digits). Letters FAS sit in positions 1, 2, 3; digits 4513 sit in positions 4, 5, 6, 7. This page does not identify a car, an owner, or a live registration. It measures how the string sits inside a published character map of 175,760,000 slots, adopted in this atlas from 2010 after ABC-1234 and mountain graphic resets.

Disclaimer. FAS4513 is not published here as a real vehicle or plate record. It is a generated example of a serial map for teaching and testing.

Washington format in brief

Washington’s Evergreen State plates moved through ABC-1234 into a no-dash seven-character block as cameras and dies simplified.

SPR9932 matches the skeleton. Display may add a hyphen only as a normalisation. Full essay: Washington license-plate format.

Combinatorics for FAS4513

Why someone might look up FAS4513

UseNote
Vanity researchPeople compare a wanted phrase against the sequential map so they can see whether it is a standard serial or a specialty request.
Fleet labellingInventories and film-unit vehicles often need a plausible unused-looking serial that still obeys a state’s character classes.
Fiction and propsWriters and set designers pick a combination that could exist on a given state’s dies without copying a photographed car.
Dataset testingOCR, ANPR and form-validation tests need strings that match a published pattern, including separators.
Format teachingThe combination is a worked example of how many plates a map can hold, not a window into a motor-vehicle file.

Generated example versus a real plate

A real Washington plate is a physical die issued from a series or a vanity queue. FAS4513 on this URL is a string that fits that series’ character classes. Identical glyphs can exist in both worlds; this website has no feed that would let it tell them apart. If you need an official answer, ask the Washington motor-vehicle agency, not plates.autos.

Questions about FAS4513

Which state does FAS4513 belong to?

FAS4513 is analysed here as a generated example of the Washington passenger serial (AAA9999). It is not assigned to a motorist by this site. The glyphs fit the sequential passenger skeleton used in this atlas.

Is FAS4513 real?

No claim is made that FAS4513 is currently issued, expired, or reserved. The string sits inside a published character map. Whether a DMV ever stamped it is a registration fact this atlas does not observe.

What does FAS4513 mean?

FAS4513 is a serial, not a slogan. Letters FAS occupy positions 1, 2, 3; digits 4513 occupy positions 4, 5, 6, 7. Spoken with the NATO alphabet it reads Foxtrot · Alfa · Sierra · four · five · one · three.

Which state uses FAS4513?

This page files FAS4513 under Washington because it fits that state’s AAA9999 passenger map. The same alphanumeric string also fits Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin. Other states with a different skeleton will reject the same glyphs.

Which vehicle uses FAS4513?

None that this atlas knows of. There is no vehicle make, model, colour, or VIN attached to FAS4513. If you photographed a car, the door-jamb sticker and the registration — not this page — identify the vehicle.

Which state’s format does FAS4513 follow?

Washington sequential passenger plates are taught here as AAA9999 (3 letters + 4 digits), in use in this atlas from 2010. Earlier Washington plates used ABC-1234 and mountain graphic resets.

Is FAS4513 a vanity plate?

Probably not, as modelled. Sequential passenger serials are issued in series; vanity (personalised) plates are requested strings that often break AAA9999. FAS4513 fits the sequential map, so this atlas treats it as a series example, not a purchased phrase.

How is FAS4513 read?

Left to right as printed: FAS4513. Aloud: Foxtrot · Alfa · Sierra · four · five · one · three. Hyphens and spaces are separators in the published pattern, not extra serial values.

Which letters and numbers are in FAS4513?

Letters: FAS (3). Digits: 4513 (4). Combined alphanumeric length: 7. Separators in the Washington display form are taken from AAA9999.

How many combinations can the FAS4513 format produce?

The Washington map AAA9999 with a 26-letter alphabet yields 175,760,000 distinct serials. FAS4513 sits at rank 33,984,513 in that mixed-radix order (about the 19.3357 percentile).

Could FAS4513 have been issued before?

It could, mathematically: the string is inside the 175,760,000-slot space. Issuance is a DMV operation (series rolls, skipped blocks, recalls). This page does not query a live file and cannot say whether FAS4513 was ever bolted to a bumper.

Why does FAS4513 appear on Google?

Because plates.autos publishes a stable analysis URL for the combination. Search engines that crawl https://plates.autos/washington/license-plate-combinations/fas-4513/ are reading an educational combinatorics page, not a leaked registration. Ranking is not a proof of issuance.

Which country or region is FAS4513 from?

The working assumption on this page is the United States, West region, state of Washington. Other countries use different dies, shields and checksums. A similar glyph string abroad would be a coincidence of alphabet, not a shared registry.

Is FAS4513 a valid US format?

FAS4513 is a valid glyph string under the Washington AAA9999 sequential passenger model used in this atlas. Validity here means “fits a documented sequential passenger skeleton,” not “cleared by a motor-vehicle agency.” Optional, military, and government plates are out of scope.

Which characters can appear on FAS4513?

On the Washington sequential map: letters from ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ and digits 0–9. Skipped letters in this atlas: none modelled. Separators: whatever AAA9999 prints (space, hyphen, or dot). Decorative dies and stacked graphics do not add serial glyphs.

How might FAS4513 have been generated?

Two honest answers. A DMV would emit it by walking the AAA9999 series. This website can also construct it with PHP by placing letters FAS and digits 4513 into those slots — which is exactly how a generated example is made. Neither method is a public records search.

Was FAS4513 used in a film or series?

This atlas does not track screen-used plates. Prop departments often invent in-format serials. If FAS4513 appeared on camera, that is outside the dataset here; treat any match as unverified.

Why might FAS4513 be blurred in a photo?

Publishers, Street View pipelines, and news desks often blur plates as a privacy habit, not because FAS4513 is special. A blur is not evidence that the combination is issued, sensitive, or unique.

What are similar plate numbers to FAS4513?

Immediate serial neighbours increment the mixed-radix rank by small deltas (for example FAS4510 and FAS4511). Same-format random draws on this page change on refresh so crawlers can discover more in-class URLs without turning FAS4513 itself into a moving target.

What appears online about FAS4513?

You may find this analysis, forum guesses, or unrelated hits (part numbers, product SKUs). None of those sources, including plates.autos, is a substitute for a state records request. FAS4513 as published here is a generated example combination.
