Montana drivers can choose their own vanity numbers when applying for license plates. However, the state may refuse your application for various reasons. For example, if the numbers are offensive, use the “&” symbol, or are already in use.
Montana has blacklisted 4,142 license plate number combinations. It’s clear why many of them are banned. However, I’m confused as to why the others made the list. Read on for a list of 30 banned Montana license plate numbers.
30 banned Montana license plates
1. 007BOND
Apparently, no one in Montana should be trying to pass themselves off as Bond.
2. 007LOO
A Google search for 007LOO produced nothing, but it’s apparently a banned Montana license plate.
3. OFP
This is what I found on Google: Operational Flight Plan, Order Fulfillment Process, Over Fill Protection, Operations Funded Project.
Any ideas why this one made the list?
4. OHS
This may be forbidden because it could be mistaken for Operation Health & Safety.
5. 0JEEPRS
This could be a cute Montana vanity plate for a Jeep. Unfortunately, it’s blacklisted.
6. 0JOY
There must be a reason for this one, but I really can’t see it.
7. OSU
Oregon State University?
8. 100YRS
Is this a reference to a local business?
9. 1PRCNT
It’s forbidden in Montana to place the phrase “1PRCNT” on your license plate, but I’m not exactly sure why.
10. 2D0GZF
Is this one a reference to a local gang?
11. 3PRCNT
Same as “1PRCNT” – it’s forbidden.
12. 5CNTZ
This doesn’t reference the rapper 50 Cent. Why is it banned?
13. 888B888
All eights and a B in the middle. It’s forbidden.
14. ASSASIN
This one may be banned because it’s associated with violence. In any case, it’s forbidden.
15. 0HCAVA
Is it forbidden to express your love for coffee on your Montana license plate?
16. BIEB
This seems like a clear reference to the pop star, but I can’t understand why it’s forbidden.
17. COBRA
Again, it’s a clear reference to the snake, but why is it forbidden?
18. COWPIE
Cow pies aren’t exactly pleasant, but I’m not sure what made them an illegal Montana vanity plate.
19. DEADHED
Sorry, fans of the Grateful Dead. This fan nickname is illegal to put on your license plates in Montana.
20. FROGR
This may reference the 1980s arcade game “Frogger”. In any case, you can’t put FROGR on your Montana license plate.
21. G0WILLE
“Go Willy!” Any idea why this is a banned Montana license plate?
22. H20BOY
Is this a reference to the movie? Something else? It’s nice, but apparently, it’s forbidden to put it on your MT license plates.
23. INQBUS
This is a clear reference to the famous rock band. Incubus fans in Montana can’t show their love for the band on their license plates.
24. 0YELLER
Another clear pop culture reference, this time to a classic movie. I’m curious why it’s not allowed on Montana license plates.
25. P0WKNG
Skiers and snowboarders across Montana may like this one. Unfortunately, it’s forbidden.
26. R
Just a single letter. Is it a reference to R-rated films? This was the only single letter I saw on the list.
27. 02BFREE
I’m confused why this is a banned Montana license plate. Any ideas?
28. ZOO
This is a clear reference to either a place where they keep animals or the town of Missoula, whose nickname is “Zoo”. Why is it a banned Montana license plate?
29. ZZBFGZZ
This seems like a completely random grouping of letters. It must mean something.
30. YN0T
Why not YN0T? Apparently, this question is not an option for personalized Montana license plates.
