Anyone know what letter the DMV is currently issuing, is it still in the "K"s?
Also, anyone know what the current DMV turnaround time is for mailed-in new registration applications?

Had ‘DFL ###’ when I was 17ish, my Father says “oh good, dumb f***in loser”
Thanks Dad 🤦🏻♂️😂

I like DFL, as in: Dead Fucking Last. Pretty funny for a car plate.

DTF
VermontArmyBrat t1_iykst1q wrote
We don’t issue plates with DTF or about 30 other combinations.

You can refuse a plate. You do not need to provide any reason. If asked for a reason you can just say it’s personal. Or you can say the letter combination is offensive or reminds you a traumatic event in your life. Or the number combination is bad luck in your “fill in the blank” (culture, religion, home country). Happens all the the time and is perfectly acceptable.

Oh nice, thanks for this info. Honestly, in the moment I would have probably just went with it even if I knew this. I sort of chuckled about it at the time, but after seeing it every day for a number of months now it just annoys me 🤷♂️🤣

How does this work? You bring the plates back to the DMV?
VermontArmyBrat t1_iyksc20 wrote
Yes. Or call the commissioners office at 828.2011 and explain your issue.

Has anyone else noticed there are no I, J, O and Z on vermont license plates? I get the I and O, could be confused with 1 and 0 - but why J and Z?! Someone must have the answer.
willowbeest t1_iyit1m3 wrote
Z probably looks too much like 2. Maybe J is for the same reason as I?
BudsKind802 t1_iyixqok wrote
I asked a friend at the DMV and they confirmed the J and I look too similar from a distance to a 1 on the generic plates, as does Z and 2.
All letters of the alphabet are available for custom plates however.
GreenPL8 t1_iykrhi0 wrote
A combination of letters, numbers or spaces may be used.
No more than two (2) numbers are allowed in combination with letters.
The Department considers “O” to be a number (zero).
Dots, dashes or other special characters or symbols cannot be used.
The plate cannot begin with the letter “Z”.
A single letter plate is acceptable; however, the letter cannot be an “I”, “J”, “O” or “Z”.
VermontArmyBrat t1_iyk1oz2 wrote
There also are no “Q” because it can be confused with zero. The “Z” is not used because in the computer records the letter Z is used to represent disabled plates. So if you see a disabled plate that shows handicap emblem followed by 1234 that plate is in computer records as Z1234.

Just registered my vehicle last week in Montpelier. The plates I got start with KKA
EDIT: Got the plates same day, in person.

Same here three weeks ago
CrispyApparition3568 t1_iyk8soq wrote
Yeah... let's hope they aren't so dumb as to put a third K on the plates. 😬😳
henry_hayes t1_iyklneb wrote
I got KKX which if you think of how that looks in the plate font….it’s not cool!
CrispyApparition3568 t1_iykn0eh wrote
Yikes! And I thought mine was bad! I definitely did a double take when I got them, but yours.... I shudder... so sorry you ended up with those letters!
jfortin72 t1_iykfvrp wrote
I highly doubt it.. there’s already enough tension with the two

My conservation plate took a full month and it was all numbers
sad0panda t1_iyjhwpe wrote
Standard (non-vanity) conservation plates are always 5 numbers. I think I saw some 80000 series on the road recently.
Internal-Fudge8578 t1_iykefef wrote
Really? I only got mine in august and it started with a 6, how could they get to 8 that fast?
sad0panda t1_iykf6av wrote
I got mine last December and was a 79xxx. Surprised you got a 6!
Internal-Fudge8578 t1_iyki7ry wrote
What?! That’s weird, maybe they skipped one by accident and then gave it to me 😂 does the animal on it affect things? I’m a loon
sad0panda t1_iykjjeq wrote
Same. I don't think so.

Constant_Honey_3965 OP t1_iymvfn3 wrote
A couple of years ago I got 64xxx. That plate rusted around a mounting hole and I requested a replacement about a month ago. My new numbers were 67xxx.
sad0panda t1_iyowj4w wrote
Wonder if there's a difference for truck series.

Here’s the history of the plates.
wwidowmakerr t1_iyjf5jj wrote
I went in and got my plates right then and there. Got stuck with double ks
Constant_Honey_3965 OP t1_iyjiad7 wrote
In that case maybe I’m glad my application got mailed in. Hopefully they will be done with KK by then!
grn_mtn_grl_802 t1_iyjkcgp wrote
Better than triple Ks! I really hope they are smart enough to skip those all together!
NCSUGrad2012 t1_iyjps0p wrote
The only state that did that was Hawaii and I believe Quebec made that same mistake as well. Otherwise it’s known to skip over that combination lol
Constant_Honey_3965 OP t1_iymvihg wrote
Agreed.
