In Pennsylvania, both the VIN & plate #s are printed on our registration form. And who remembers them? Hell, I wake up not remembering my name most of the time.
Your Car registration number?

Our insurance company has a record of the VIN numbers; how else would they know what they are insuring?

Many thanks, we have pictures of our plates on both of our cellphones, but it never occurred to me to take a picture of the VIN number.
You win my prize for most useful information of the day. Potentially this could be very important when dealing with insurance or law enforcement.
Your insurance company will have the registration number on file. If the car is stolen and burned beyond recognition, there is a plate with the VIN on the engine. The plate under the left side of the windshield is for the convenience of the repairman and the police officer. There will always be 17 digits and/or letters in a VIN.

Easy for me to remember. My pickup's license number is my ham radio call sign. I've remembered it since I was 11 years old.

Since I got a new plate number with my new car in March, I have not committed it to memory yet. Though I can recognize it in sight in a parking lot. Taking a picture of the plate is a good idea. Helpfull if asked fir it (ie if car stolen)

Keep you VIN & License numbers where you can quickly access them so when your vehicle is stolen you can call it in with the necessary numbers.

In the UK, it's currently 2 letters for the district / city, 2 numbers for the year and 3 random letters. There were various other schemes in the past.
It is sometimes possible to make a word form the letter / number. These plates can command a lot of money. Most rude combinations were not issued, but there ones like PEN15 out there
and a local driving instructor has a car with the number plate
