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.
