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

Has any state refused MATT?

MATT doesn't fit the plate rules in Hawaii - 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 MATT 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.
