The registration number can't be faked, because there are only enough spaces to put the numbers in on the form.
They are tied to the taxe d'habitation and taxe fonciere.
I am already seeing properties that are being sold "furniture included".

I just chose an apartment at random on Airbnb. Near the top of the text under the photo it says, "The Space" then "+More". Click on that & scroll down to the registration number:
License or registration number
7511800093027
Then a link to "Learn about this number" takes you here:

It seems all very clear to me. I'm very glad this is finally being clarified & implemented.

I will be interested to see whether the new system results in more apartments becoming available for working people within Paris or whether it results in more apartments owned as vacation properties by people rich enough to not have to rent them out short term.

I've been checking AirBnB listings for Paris and, so far, I don't see any registration numbers. I must be missing something but none of the places (and I've looked at half a dozen at least) have anything listed.

Here's an example of a listing with a reference number:

It will probably be a mix of people selling their apartments for Parisian residents to move into, and others renting them out for their vacations.
It will probably not be feasible for many people to keep their investment properties, so I'd expect to see fewer of them.

I hadn't noticed this previously because I don't do much apartment searching but while looking for one for a friend, I found listings for apartments, privately owned not part of a chain, on booking. com. Is this new or have I just not noticed before? Will these also sport registration numbers?

This might be an indication of the number of legal apartments on Aribnb. However, owners still have until December 1st to register.

I do not see a city registration number on this listing. The ¨reference¨ number is not a city registration number as shown by MmePerdu´s post above.

In an effort to hide from city inspectors, Home Away has blocked access to their site from those with ISPs in Paris. However, city inspectors know how to use VPNs and are able to circumnavigate blocking attempts (just like I just did).
<i>Will these also sport registration numbers?</i>
Any and all short term rentals, those rented for a period of fewer than 12 months, must be registered with the city.

Envierges - I agree. You have found a listing with a city registration number making it completely legal to rent for up to 120 days annually.
Starting this December, when registration numbers are required on all listings, it may not be as difficult to find registered apartments. There may also be many fewer total apartments listed.

First of all, not all rental apartments will be sold.
Second of all, many property owners will be able to keep them as a source of revenue.
Third, there are rental platforms that the city enforces to keep things from getting out of control, based on a price per square meter by arrondissement and the condition of the building.
You can look everything up at the notaire's office next time you're in Paris.

Yes, the whole point is to get people to put these apartments on the "normal" rental market. Obviously, they will earn much less money by doing that, so of course some of them will be sold. And this might help to bring the prices down in the real estate market, even though I doubt it.
As for people who say "well, I'll just keep my apartment empty" if they can't soak tourists for it, it should be noted that cities will a population higher than 200,000 have had a "vacant apartment tax" since 1999. It was extended to cities with a population of over 50,000 in 2013. The first year the tax is 12.5% of the annual rental value. The second year the tax rises to 25%. There are currently plans to double the tax until it hurts.
