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

WIDELY by the numbers

WIDELY is open in 100% of this week's official checks - more open than the average 6-character plate we check (73% open).

Has any state refused WIDELY?

We haven't seen a state turn WIDELY 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.

Want WIDELY where it's taken?

Plates come back when owners let them go. Watch WIDELY free and we'll tell you the moment it opens in your state.
