New Hampshire personalized & vanity plates

What New Hampshire lets you spell on a plate, and how to check availability yourself.

Plate Gator can't check New Hampshire availability automatically

New Hampshire's Platecheck tool works, but its site blocks the IP addresses Plate Gator's servers use, so check availability by hand at the state's site.

So the only way to know for sure is to ask New Hampshire directly — the preview above still works, but Plate Gator will not run a live check for New Hampshire.

New Hampshire plate format rules

Length
1–7 characters.
Allowed characters
Letters A–Z, numbers 0–9, and “-”, “&”, “+”.
Letters
Must contain at least one letter (no all-number combinations).

A combination may not consist only of numerals, or only numerals plus &, + and -, so a letter is effectively required. At most two of &, + and - may appear and they may not be consecutive; only the count of two is encodable here. No space character is allowed and no minimum length is published. RSA 261:89 delegates the detail to Admin Code Saf-C 513.62, read via law.cornell.edu because NH's own admin-code site blocks direct fetches.
