license plate (number)
Hello!
I think you're on the right track. According to Simon and Schusters, matrícula de un auto, could be a registration number or license plate. In the context that I've seen it used on the web though, it's more often the latter. For example:
Cambio gratuito de matrícula
Cambio gratuito de matrícula:
A los clientes de la marca que lleven su vehículo a cualquier establecimiento de la red de concesionarios Ford se les regalará la nueva placa europea.

license (plate) number
In USA terminology that's how it is said; in many countries (Chile for example), that it exactly what it means; and for planes, vessels, etc., the "registration number".

Perdón... Dije "guardafango", pero lo que quería decir era "parachoque" o "defensa".
