Our Department does not maintain any list of rejected plates by year. Most plates are rejected automatically online before the application is formally submitted to us. We do not maintain a record of those rejections. Additionally, a rejection may be made verbally at one of our Revenue Offices (DMVs).
Although rare, there are sometimes plates that are recalled. However, any communication with the vehicle's owner would fall under the privacy requirements and exemption provided by the Driver's Privacy Protection Act.
I will follow up with the remaining responsive items.... statutes and rules for vanity/personalized plates.
Let me know how I can help.
Thank you.
