Correct. Also called a license plate.

It goes by various names, but yes. Registration (with fees that various by state and possibly by city/town) gets you your number plate. That plate does not stay with the car forever. You sell the car, you turn in the plate and the new owner gets a new plate. Some states also charge an excise tax, so they can make more money. I think NY City also adds a city tax. Taxation with representation.

That is separate from your license plate. Like your MOT, some states require an annual safety inspection. Some don't. Some also require an emissions test. Some states have regions that require an emissions test. YMMV depending on where you live.

The US and Great Britain, two countries separated by  common language. :)
