Custom Plates in Louisiana

If you want to submit the license plate, then you must get the registration for your vehicle first. Then you can apply for the license plate. After this, the Office of Motor Vehicles will send you a confirmation. And it will take about two weeks to proceed with the received paperwork. Yet you should be very attentive while submitting the license plate. As the DMV can refuse many of the combinations chosen by the applicant. Here are the common reasons for the license plate refusal in Louisiana.

  • The numbers “1” or “0” can not stand instead of the letters “I” or “O”.
  • Three letters after three numbers or three numbers after three letters are not allowed.
  • Some signs like “%”, “@”, “#”, etc. are not permitted.
  • The DMV will also reject a duplicated logo within the combination.
  • The combination can not contain more than seven letters or numbers.
  • You can not apply for the specialty plate combination assigned to someone else.
  • The DMV can not accept ethnic, vulgar, racial content that can be abusive.

For example, the DMV rejected “Evil666”, “HOT1079”, “SLAYER”, “BOOG3RS”, “CRAYCRAY”, “ASSASIN”, etc. This is because of the inappropriate content.

Almost all these reasons you may meet while applying for the license plate in the State of Arkansas.

The registration fee is $25 annually. But you should also pay an extra $3.50 for the administration fee and $8 as a handling fee.
