General Instructions

The department has the right to refuse any combination of letters and/or numbers that may carry connotations offensive to good taste and decency, or which would be misleading, or in conflict with any license plate series that has been issued.

The Department may refuse any combination of letters and/or numbers in which a number or letter has been substituted for another character due to license plate unavailability, per NAC 482.320. For example: if License plate “LICENSE” is already in use, “L1CENSE” is not an acceptable combination and will be refused.

The Department will reject requests for any personalized license plate that:

  • Expresses contempt, ridicule, or superiority of race, ethnic heritage, religion or gender
  • Contains any connotation that is sexual, vulgar, derogatory, profane, or obscene
  • Contains a direct or indirect reference to drug or drug paraphernalia, or a gang
  • Makes a defamatory reference to a person or group
