Records of temporary tags issued shall include the name and address of the person to whom each temporary tag is issued, the make and vehicle identification number of the vehicle to which the temporary tag is assigned and the date on which the temporary tag was issued.

(4) A temporary tag bearing erasures, white out or corrections is void, regardless of the reason why such modification is made and such tag shall be marked "VOID" across the face. Any temporary tag voided by an issuer and marked "VOID" across the face of the tag shall be maintained as part of the temporary tag records required hereunder.
