While creativity is allowed, it is bound by specific rules.

In terms of getting one, the steps are pretty easy to follow.

An application fee is paid to the MVC.

Then, each plate request is evaluated before approval.

The MVC will examine if the custom plates include hate speech, vulgar language, or profane words.

Plates that are violent or sexually explicit are all denied.

Over the years, there have been instances where freedom of speech has come into play.

What is offensive to one person may not be offensive to another.

For those who wish to have a customized plate and are still unsure whether their design would be suitable, MVC makes it easy by providing instructions on how to avoid getting refused.

It is important to remember that custom plates are not just an accessory to catch people’s eyeballs; they’ve integrated into New Jersey's car culture.

These plates, which can be humorous or even emotional, help the drivers express their small yet important desires to the world around them.

Still, those who submit requests should always remember to strike a balance between their creative ideas and their imaginations to break the MVC’s review process.

New Jerseyans never run out of creativity with their plates, from silly pop culture references to hobbies to their important life events.

Here are some custom NJ plates people tried to sneak through that were ultimately rejected.
