Ok, this is minutia legal question. I fully understand the shared opinions here will cover the full spectrum, and that is OK by me.

I have an original Florida tag in very good condition from 1962. Florida has a procedure to legally use the tag if it's the same year as the car if it weighs under 5,000lbs.
You must send it to the Capital DMV for authentication, to verify condition and approval with fees, proof of insurance, etc.
There are other portions of Fla statues that seem to consider an Authenticated tag as a "personalized" tag, not sure how they make that leap or if I am interpreting that wording correctly.

The tag in question in essence reads "XXX- 666".

So does this previously issued tag warrant a valid "objection" by anybody if used on another's car?

It is not clear, if it can be confiscated prior to registration because of an objection, do I still own the tag outright after submission but prior to authentication, do I have any due process here or who becomes the true owner of the tag once registered.



FS 320.0805 (4) The department is authorized to reject requests deemed by it to be objectionable, and the department is further authorized to recall, during a registration period, any issued personalized license plate determined by it to be obscene or otherwise objectionable.


FS320.0805 (8)(a)1. "Personalized prestige license plates shall consist of three types of plates as follows:
1.A plate imprinted with numerals only. Such plates shall consist of numerals from 1 to 999, inclusive."

I can't help with the question, but I'll give you ten bucks for it (plus shipping, of course).

Would be great on a Demon.

I've been looking for a 1962 Demon. they must be rather rare.

My guess would be that the plate may have been pulled by the DMV very early in its life. There could have been a lot of religions that would have protested that plate in 62. It would have been a lot harder to keep it back then then it would be now. I suspect that at any point during the time between when it was first issued and the present time, any protest would remove it from the possibilities of being approved currently. Then given the current position of the FL government, I would not expect to see it slip through these days. Satan worship and xxx sex are not main stream promotional items right now. .

Some will just slip by while others get snagged by an auditor. I had a friend in High School who got by with "Beej Me" for his Florida tag.

I recently saw an Iowa plate on an F150 that read "9INCHES".

A buddy had the personalized license plate "KLR-BEE on his 1970 Dodge Super Bee for years here in Missouri.

He went to renew it and it was denied, because it used what was seen as the word "Killer" which apparently was now objectionable by whom even does the approvals.
The fact that he had been using that for 20+ years meant nothing.

IIRC now his plate say "STUNG" which isn't nearly as cool as KLR-BEE on a yellow Super Bee.

I tried to get "6SIX6" for my Demon as a personalized plate but was refused due to it being deemed potentially offensive.

Funny thing is, the only reason I was getting it spelled that way was because "666" was already taken.

Who knows what goes on in the mind of a bureaucrat....

I have a friend with an FM3 T/A Challenger. He went to get plates for "Pink T/A" and it was refused on the basis that:

1) Dodge never make a T/A, only Pontiac
2) It was vulgar

So he made the trek to Bismarck with all kind of ads and photos from 1970 and eventually he did get the plates but it was a fight.

my favorite of all time was a good looking blonde driving a black covette with a plate that said "IMNOCNT", early 80's SFV Ca.

^^^ Winner !

Unless it was supposed to be "innocent"...

Back in the late 70s the State of Illinois issued XXX-666 to a guy in town's Vette. He never requested it.

haha that's how I first read it.

If you know someone within the DMV, it will pass with no issues.

Y'all are over-thinking it...

Because that's how far an f-150 will drive before needing to be towed

had a neighbor that fought Ca. DMV to get a personalized palte for his 350 powered Chevy Luv truck, he wanted LUV4 PLAY. never did get it

I read an article about personalized plates somewhere. There was a guy that wanted the plate to say "HOOKER". They would usually refuse it but it was the guys last name. I saw a plate that had three #'s and these three letters "F" "A" "G". It wasn't a personalized plate but that got by them. I was wondering why the owner didn't object to it?
