Yeah thats the one thing that sux about the vanity plates is it is easy for people to identify you. No such thing as driving down the road anonymously, but I figure my vehicles are never anonymous anyways.

A good vanity plate to get and remain anonymous is get one that mixes 1s and Is. Really hard to tell which are which if someone wanted to write down your plate. 1I11III

I agree, only the LEOs and other people who have access to the information can look it up and even they are only allowed to do it for official business. If someone looked up your information out of "curiosity", they could easily lose their jobs and face lawsuits from the person who's privacy was breached.

I think there are rules about what letters and numbers can be in combination on your tag for legibility and readability

I don't know of any restrictions either, MO. I was just pointing out that vanity tags are in the same database as regulars tags and are just as easy to access the same info as a numbered tag. I think Chase thought, from his first post, that vanity tags are in a separate system that only DMV could access... which is not the case.

As for the rules in my other forum... they state that they don't want random posts of tags, only your own. That's prolly bc that site is an international website with vanity tags from all over this country and the globe.

I saw a tag the other day that said "RUTROW"... (think Scooby-Doo).

I remember seeing a marker on a Range Rover once that said "Gud dog" and I liked that.

The fee for a vanity license plate is $40 per year in addition to the normal annual registration fee for the vehicle. The plates may be ordered at any Division facility. Use the Vanity Tag Search to check the availability of a tag online.

The issuance of vanity plates is subject to the following rules. The Division has final approval on any vanity plate issued, and any plate considered vulgar or offensive in nature will be denied or recalled if issued in error.

Vanity plates may display a single letter, a combination of letters, or combination of letters and numerals not to exceed seven (7) digits in length. Motorcycle vanity plates are restricted to five (5) digits in length.
If the plate includes numerals, the numerals shall be displayed to the right of all letters.
No vanity plate with all numerals is authorized.
Hyphens, ampersands, and spaces are permitted and will count as one letter. No other punctuation marks are allowed.

The Division cannot approve any vanity plate that may conflict with any existing license plate. The following is a brief, but not all-encompassing, list of vanity plate restrictions. The large number of organizational and special license plates issued by the Division prohibits the publishing of an all-encompassing list of restrictions. Due to conflicting possibilities with existing regular license plates, the following combinations shall not be issued:

The letters "A, BSD, C, CL, CT, CY, D, DAV, DU, DX, F, FD, FT, GS, HP, I, KW, MC, MCB, MCE, MCJ, MH, MIA, MP, NIA, NG, OIF, PC, PH, POW, R, RF, RM, RV, RT, S, SR, SS, T, TC, TX, VV or V" followed by a number or numbers.
The letter "I" followed any numerals.
The letter "O" followed by any numerals.
Any combination that consists solely of letters "I" and "O", and numerals "1" and "0".
Roman numerals (i.e. XIII, VI)

Our company van has HOY1 which stands for Hoy en Delaware, the name of the newspaper.
My boss put 1 just in case he ever got another company vehicle then he can get HOY2.
