Banned in Arkansas: See some of the personalized license plates rejected by the state

1 year ago 16

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Personalized license plates can add a unique custom touch for many drivers, but state officials have had to put the brakes on some custom tags sought by Arkansas drivers.

The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration issues about 50,000 personalized plates yearly for some of its 2.7 million registered vehicles. DFA spokesperson Scott Hardin said roughly 4,000 to 5,000 new personalized plate applications are made to the agency annually.

Not every application for a personalized plate is approved. Personalized plate applications run through a multi-step process and some requests are denied.

The first step is an automated application review. The automated review will reject plates that appear on a list of letter and number combinations the DFA maintains. Details on those automated rejections are not tracked, Hardin said.
