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

HEADED by the numbers

HEADED is open in 94% of this week's official checks - more open than the average 6-character plate we check (73% open).

Has any state refused HEADED?

• Tennessee - Flagged by Tennessee's word filter at our latest check.

HEADED doesn't fit the plate rules in Tennessee - 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.

Worried about rejection? The dashboard's rejection risk check reads a plate the way DMV reviewers do. See plates states have rejected.
