ERROR in every state we check

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 ERROR yet, or we don't cover them - see all states.

ERROR by the numbers

ERROR is open in 10% of this week's official checks - harder to get than the average 5-character plate we check (65% open).

Has any state refused ERROR?

We haven't seen a state turn ERROR 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.
