Arizona rejected plate FAQ

Why does Arizona reject vanity plates?

Like every state, Arizona refuses plates it considers offensive, profane, sexual, hateful, drug or violence related, or that look official (like police plates). Reviewers also read plates backwards, with numbers as letters, and in other languages.

Can I appeal a rejected plate in Arizona?

Most states let you ask for a review or appeal in writing. Check Arizona's DMV for how - and explain what your plate means, since reviewers often refuse plates they misread.

How can I tell if Arizona will reject my plate?

Use the rejection risk check in the VanityPlate dashboard. It looks for the things reviewers look for - hidden words, words read backwards or with numbers as letters, official-looking wording - and tells you if any state's own lookup has flagged the plate.
