Last year, 54,236 Illinoisans requested vanity and personalized plate requests and 383 were shot down due to their tawdry, lewd or offensive nature or because they were difficult to read.
Those are just a few of the nearly 400 requests for vanity and personalized license plates that were rejected by the Illinois Secretary of State’s office in 2022, Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias said in a statement Monday.
"We love the creativity and pride Illinoisans take in choosing their personalized license plates," Giannoulias said in a statement. "Most plate requests are approved, but a small percentage fail to meet the standards of good taste and decency and are rejected because they violate the state’s vehicle code."The Secretary of State’s Office oversees the process by which Illinoisans may request specific vanity or personalized license plates for their vehicles.
Among those rejected included: PEEPEE, GOTPOOP, SUCKER, KISSASH, SUKIT, BITEU, DUCKYOU, COKAIN, HAIILNO, WHTHFUK and WMWWWMW.Giannoulias said his office maintains an ever-growing rejection list, which currently stands at more than 7,000 license plate combinations considered offensive or difficult to read.
