The summary above counts every official DMV answer from the last 7 days. * Not counted: the check is older than 7 days, it's Wyoming's per-county search, or it comes from a registration lookup or an imported plate list ("Likely open" rows). Not allowed means the state's site rejected the text itself - usually its length or characters. "Since" is when we first saw the current status. States not listed haven't been checked for CRASH yet, or we don't cover them - see all states.
CRASH is open in 5% of this week's official checks - harder to get than the average 5-character plate we check (65% open).
If CRASH is gone where you live, try it with something added - this week: CRASHES open in 15 of 16 states checked.
We haven't seen a state turn CRASH down on review. That's a good sign - but every state reviews requests, so it can still be refused.
Worried about rejection? The dashboard's rejection risk check reads a plate the way DMV reviewers do. See plates states have rejected.
