"Since" is when we first saw the current status. States not listed haven't been checked for CANNOT yet, or we don't cover them - see all states.
We haven't seen any state refuse CANNOT. That's a good sign - but every state reviews requests, so it can still be turned down.
Worried about rejection? The dashboard's rejection risk check reads a plate the way DMV reviewers do. See plates states have rejected.
Plates come back when owners let them go. Watch CANNOT free and we'll tell you the moment it opens in your state.
