Danish term or phrase: vis nummer
I have a Dutch DHL document that has the term 'Vis nummer' on it. I can't find any relevant Dutch hits at all. It surely can't mean "fish number" in this context.
The row reads:
wordt afgehaald te - geadresseerde informeren - vis nummer. All the hits I'm getting seem to be Danish.

English translation:caller ID
Explanation:
This is the name of the function on a telephone or the service you can order from your phone company. It does seem odd, however, that a Danish term would pop up on such a document.

Do you have any more context?

Even though I now think it is an acronym, my query related to what "vis nummer" meant in Danish, so I am awarding full points.

license number


Explanation:
It is possibly the "Vessel information system" but could also refer to the license number.
