I ordered mine here in WA about two weeks ago. The website said two months - so I am hanging tight. Our plates are made through Washington State Correctional Industries - aka prison.

I just ordered my black CO tags for my triple yellow GT-350 with black stripes. I ask for RJCOBRA it was marked as possibly offensive by the clerks computer. I guess I'll find out f I can get it in four weeks. My backup was COBRA-2, Also marked possibly offensive. Go figure.

Advantage of a smaller state 1. Often 1st pick is available 2. 3 week wait time. The state changed the color of its characters from blue (with green highlights) to black on white. Much better on the new car.

You can't have women's underwear on your plates!

My PA plate, YA CUL8R, only took about 5 weeks last year, but with the new style plates, it may take longer.

Michigan’s online application asks what the meaning of the plate is. That seems sensible instead of an algorithm just rejecting bits.

Colorado also had a section for me to explain the meaning. The computer just flagged it as possibly offensive. Once they review my explanation, they should remove the flag.

In Ohio they ask you at the counter at the DMV. If they are satisfied with your answer, your plate gets approved.

That's nice. Pretty much unlimited number of employees and counters at multiple locations some with varying "personal fees". Or the worst scenario if they add rejections to a database any future request checks. Doubt the latter because would only be a week before someone contests and wins and that whole process is scrapped.
