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

FACTORY by the numbers

FACTORY is open in 62% of this week's official checks - harder to get than the average 7-character plate we check (81% open).

At 7 characters, FACTORY is too long in Hawaii (max 6), Kentucky (max 6), Missouri (max 6) and Oregon (max 6).

Has any state refused FACTORY?

FACTORY doesn't fit the plate rules in Alaska - the state's site marked it Not allowed (usually too long, too short or a format the state reserves), so it can't be ordered there.

We haven't seen a state turn FACTORY down on review anywhere else. 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.
