With the driver's door open — on the B-pillar (the post between the front and rear doors), by the door lock. Usually black or white, with “MFD BY” at the top. Next to it there is a yellow-and-white tyre pressure placard — that is another plate, not needed for registration.

1The manufacturer and the month of manufacture.
2GVWR — the gross vehicle weight rating.
3GAWR — the front and rear axle ratings (with the tyres stated).
4The manufacturer's statement that the car complies with the US federal safety standards (FMVSS). This sentence is the certification.
5VIN — must match the VIN under the windscreen and in the documents — and the vehicle type.
Why it matters
A US car has no European certificate of conformity (CoC), so before registration in Lithuania it goes through a technical expertise (individual approval). It takes the date of manufacture and the permitted weights from this label. In Latvia, the CSDD asks for it too.
If it is missing
A replacement label can usually be ordered by VIN only through the make's US representative — the European ones have no access to that system. It takes time and delays registration. Copies from the internet will not do: they are not the manufacturer's.
