Cessna 210 P identification tag

Hello, Does anyone knows where could be located aircraft identification tag/aircraft data plate in Cessna N210P.I ve found one tag only with model and serial no, on the exterior of aircraft, but cant’t find manufacture, original tag, no one place on plane interior, no on doors frames.It could be possible that plane doesn’t have this tag?

You may need to remove the cowlings and find what you're looking for affixed to the firewall.

I will try thank you, Aircraft didn’t have any accident in history so this tag with numbers must be orginal one, but I checked all interior like carpet, doors frame,etc , so this one must in another place.

The aircraft with the registration N210P resides in West Palm Beach according to the FAA and is listed as a T210N model. Is this the aircraft you are talking about? Seems the 210 had the plate at the base of the pilots door pillar.

The aircrafts flight manual should tell you the location of the data plate in Section 8, Handling, Service and Maintenance under heading "Identification Plate".

The 210 should be the same as the 177:

All correspondence regarding your airplane should include the SERIAL NUMBER. The Serial Number, Model Number, Production Certificate Number (PC) and Type Certificate Number (TC) can be found on the Identification Plate, located on the upper part of the left forward doorpost.

A 210 with no dataplate is worth a fraction of its value. It needs to go to a Cessna service centre where they can confirm its logbook history. If it has no mods and no damage you can get a new plate. Raise a ticket with the CPA if you don't believe me!

An aircraft with no data plate is only worth what a scrap yard will pay you. From the link I provided earlier.

A data plate is needed to legitimize an airplane. Today the regulations require that each airplane manufactured prior to March 7, 1988 have—in addition to the inside-mounted data plate—the builder's model designation and the aircraft serial number externally on the fuselage either adjacent to or aft of the rearmost door or near the tail surfaces.
Since it's not in Cessna's interest to have a "hot" data plate legitimize an airframe it had no part in producing, the company will only issue a replacement data plate under certain conditions.
A Cessna data plate replacement letter issued on Dec. 2, 2002 lists three steps to getting a replacement data plate. First the owner must provide Cessna with a notarized letter describing how the original data plate was lost. The owner must also provide a letter from the local FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) that states that the airplane is "as represented."
Applicants must also include a letter from a Cessna Service Center (or a Cessna Service Engineer) stating that the airplane: (a) meets the TCDS and (b) that all mandatory Service Bulletins are accomplished. The letter also states that "Modifications such as winglets, spoilers, STOL kits or any others are not installed." Once these letters are obtained they are sent to Cessna along with a check for $404 and a new data plate will be issued.
