'HOKTUAH' And Other Rejected Illinois License Plates In 2024

Y'all ain't slick.

The ratchet requests for license plates in Illinois continue. Illinois Secretary of State released some of the rejected vanity plate requests, according to WGN, and y'all need to stay off social media.

The Secretary of State's office got over 60,000 vanity plate requests and rejected 335 of them, either because of profanity or they were difficult to read.

Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias said:

Illinoisans consistently display a great deal of creativity when choosing their customized license plates, but the plates that hit the road must meet the standards of good taste and decency. Our team are well-versed in lecherous language and sneaky swearing, all of which are rejected and placed on our permanent prohibited list.

So y'all trying to be all sneaky with it ain't working. Currently, over 8,000 vanity plate requests have been banned in Illinois and the list is just ever-growing. This year's list is mostly either thinly-veiled profanity, innuendo, or trendy words that you're probably too old to even know.

Illinois state law says that the Secretary of State's office has the authority to reject any application for a vanity license plate if it “creates a connotation that is offensive to good taste and decency”.

But now that a new year has ended, there's a new batch of freshly rejected suggestions in Illinois' vanity plate mix. And Illinois has stayed consistent with the ratchet. Scroll down to see 15 Illinois license plates that were rejected in 2024!
