1913 – EARLY 1920s · THE COURSE THIS TOWN ACTUALLY USED
For its first motor decade, North Liberty's licensing ran through the post office and the notary's seal — the state frame at pointer size, the town's course at its own. Indiana's first state plates (1913) were issued centrally: an owner applied to the Secretary of State and the plates came by mail. In December 1928 the state-level warning that defines the era's local channel was issued by the state automobile department's head (Rhoads): applications handled by notaries public who charged more than the lawful fee drew state attention — the notary channel was real, statewide, and regulated, and it is the channel a town with no branch used. No individual North Liberty notary in the plate channel is named in any record reached (gap G-W4B-6); the 1943 Indianapolis Times item that proposed moving "outlying branches" business to township trustees proves the tier existed in the system's design and is printed as tier evidence only — never as evidence that any trustee here held a desk. Department branches at the county seat follow in the early 1920s at the strength the Indiana leg reached; from that point the town's course is the counters table below.
Principal sources: the Indiana leg's institutional record (pointer); the banked Indiana Motor Vehicle Department record (Rhoads warning, December 1928); Indianapolis Times, February 1943 (snippet strength) — the last two at state-frame strength only.
