please help me with this "Validated Registration Card" Options

[Gustl]

I have this b/w copy of a "Validated Registration Card" and would like to know what's all the information on it.
I marked some things in question with red rectangles.

Why is this a limited registration (09/22/2001 to 09/22/2002)?
I thought once a car is registered, it's valid till I sell or "unregister" it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

What is the "Date Issued" ??
And why is this date about 7 weeks earlier that the periode of registration?

What is the number -6666 behind the ZIP code?

What are these numbers / codes at the Lienholder's area?

What else could I learn from this document?

What is the "Date Issued" ??
And why is this date about 7 weeks earlier that the periode of registration? Date issued is the date that the DMV issued the registration to the new owner. The later date is likely the date of the original registration.

What is the number -6666 behind the ZIP code? it is addition information and does not mean much of anything to us, it helps the USPS

What are these numbers / codes at the Lienholder's area? I dont know

What else could I learn from this document? Not much.

This document is not a title and only the registration card. I am close to Hillsborough and possibly I could check it out for you

did I get this right: this date indicates that the "Registered Owner" bought the car (close to it)?

thanks - not really nescessary
I just try to track down the history of the car
and this document seems to show the date of a sale/purchase (Date issued)

Maybe, maybe not.

When you first register a car, that date becomes your yearly registration date. In case of my 914, the first time i registered it in CA was in Feb. 2000. So now every year i need to pay my registration by the end of Jan. to get a new sticker.
In fact, my license plate has two stickers, one for the year (as in your picture) and one for the month (FEB).

The difference in dates on your document means that the owner paid registration on 08/07/2001 (note that dates are different in the US, mm/dd/yyyy), so that's August 2001. The registration period is from September 2001 to September 2002.

The extra numbers on the zip code is some sort of routing number that is only used by the post office. If you know that number for your address, you can use it, but it's not needed when sending mail.
