"Since" is when we first saw the current status. States not listed haven't been checked for SUB yet, or we don't cover them - see all states.
We haven't seen any state refuse SUB. That's a good sign - but every state reviews requests, so it can still be turned down.
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 SUB free and we'll tell you the moment it opens in your state.
At our latest checks, SUB was open in 11 of 19 states we check on official DMV sites (Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee and Washington). Availability changes, so check it again before you order.
Yes. Add SUB to your watch list in the VanityPlate dashboard and we'll message you the moment a state shows it as open.
Order it from your state's DMV. Check that SUB is open in your state, make sure it fits the state's rules, then order and pay the personalized plate fee. Every state reviews requests before making the plate.
