Massachusetts Motor Vehicle Inspection Sticker - Expires August 1993, No. K-2998421

This photograph shows a green Massachusetts Motor Vehicle Certificate of Inspection sticker affixed to a vehicle's windshield glass. The sticker is the standard state inspection decal issued by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. A large black numeral '8' is displayed in the center white box, indicating the expiration month (August), and the digits '1 9 9 3' printed vertically along the right side indicate the expiration year. Text at the bottom states the sticker is 'VALID THROUGH MONTH OF YEAR INDICATED.' The sticker carries the serial number 'No K- 2998421' printed on a white strip near the bottom, and the issuing agency 'Registry of Motor Vehicles' is printed along the bottom edge. Small shield-shaped watermark emblems are faintly visible in the green background as anti-counterfeiting features. From this document a reader can learn that the vehicle it was attached to passed a Massachusetts safety/emissions inspection and that the certificate expired in August 1993. The photo is taken through dirty/dusty glass with glare, obscuring some of the header text, but the key details (state, month, year, serial number) are readable.
