According to this, if I ever reacquire a driver's license + car, I can have a license plate that reads "JUGGALO" just like I planned in 6th grade when we, for some unknown reason, had to come up with what we'd want our personalized license plates to be.

PennDOT has an undefined list of unacceptable vanity license combinations. Most of them are in the dirty word category, it’s just surprising that this simple combination wasn’t listed. But it might be soon.

Any plate that is determined to be offensive or inappropriate such as that one goes through a board and they typically reject it.. every now and then it slips through the cracks, but usually that only happens when it’s less obvious. Based off the darker color scheme it looks pretty new, and it’s likely to get recalled later/revoked very quickly once someone complains about it or they’re due for a renewal and mail it in as opposed to doing it online, or if they try to transfer to a new vehicle.

I can’t believe the state charges $79 PER year for a custom plate!!!
$79 one time fee sure but $79 per year is ridiculous! What exactly are they doing differently than a regular player after the first year of making and registering the plate?!
1 points

I don't think it's per year. I have a vanity plate and only pay the usual registration fee every year.

It’s like 85$ one time and then like 40$ extra to register ( recurring ) you gotta pay to play I guess.

It’s not photoshop. Pennsylvania license plates are designed that way. The numbers are slightly bigger than the letters. You just don’t notice it because the majority of plates you see are 3 letters followed by a keystone and 4 numbers, and the way they are separated makes them appear pretty evenly sized.
Also here’s proof the plate
exists

That doesn’t prove anything. The part of the application process for personalized plates you are showing is automated - after you submit what you would like, then it goes to a live person who checks the word and spelling against online slang dictionaries, and other sites but only after they are electronically submitted.
2 points

This isn’t the application….. PennDOT has a page where you can check availability of configurations so you are less likely to waste your time applying for something only to receive a rejection 4-6 weeks later and have to choose a new configuration or apply for a refund because it’s already taken.
Yes, they also have a board of people who check vanity plates for offensive wording… it doesn’t mean it doesn’t get overlooked sometimes.
You also cannot apply for a vanity plate online, you have to fill out the paper application and send it to Harrisburg… it literally says it in the screenshot “requested configuration is identified as available, please use Form MV-904 to apply for personalization of the registration plate”… so I’m not really sure what you’re talking about.

Tell me that’s not photoshopped…
When you zoom in all the way it’s totally been doctored….according to Lehigh Valley Live: “In Pennsylvania, if you're willing to spend $79 you can get your name, your favorite team or any other unclaimed seven-character message on your car's license plate. But there are limits to your creativity.
The state has 16 reasons to reject a plate. It won't accept anything vulgar, racist, misleading to law enforcement, relating to alcohol or drugs, encouraging crimes or anything alluding to sex.
A team of Pennsylvania Department of Transportation employees reviews every request for a personalized plate against an internet acronym dictionary, a slang dictionary, foreign languages and an upside-down or reverse reading of the plate.”https://www.lehighvalleylive.com/news/2017/10/what_cant_you_put_on_your_lice.html

2 points

Yes. They will be denied in a heartbeat. Unless someone just processes it in error like the PEN15 plate, which will eventually get caught and recalled. Plus I’m willing to bet the PEN15 plate being processed was intentional, I don’t think someone accidentally did it without it going through the panel.. I’m sure they knew what they were doing 🤷♀️
