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 KIDNEYS yet, or we don't cover them - see all states.
KIDNEYS is open in 79% of this week's official checks - about as open as the average 7-character plate we check (81% open).
At 7 characters, KIDNEYS is too long in Hawaii (max 6), Kentucky (max 6), Missouri (max 6) and Oregon (max 6).
We haven't seen a state turn KIDNEYS 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.
Plates come back when owners let them go. Watch KIDNEYS free and we'll tell you the moment it opens in your state.
