Add the VIN and serial number and HUD number and it gets even more frustrating. For example, manufactured home HUD tags and data plates are confusing because a plate is not a plate and a tag really isn’t a tag, A data plate is a simple sheet of paper. Granted, that simple piece of paper has a lot of important information on it. A certificate is not the same as a plate or a manufactured home HUD tag, but it is displayed on a tag. A tag is different from a data plate but has the same information as a certificate. 2 Labels, 2 Numbers To simplify it all, remember that there are only 2 main labels attached to a factory-built home: a manufactured home HUD tag and a Data Plate.

There should be a red metal tag with silver text riveted to the rear exterior of each section of every manufactured home built since 1976. This metal tag has 3 letters and 6 numbers stamped into it. It gets confusing because there are several terms used when referring to this metal tag. They come from the fact that the certification number is stamped onto the HUD tag or HUD label. Here are a few of the different names I’ve seen used for this metal tag: • HUD Tag • Construction Code Label • Certification Label • HUD Label. If that’s not confusing enough, the HUD website plainly states that the metal must be red with silver lettering. So, why are there black labels and silver labels?

A manufactured home HUD tag, or certification tag, is the metal plaques attached to the exterior of your home that is 2″ wide and 4″ long.

The number and letter sequence is the certification label number. This means that the home was inspected in the factory before it left and met all the requirements set by HUD in the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards law.
