Why was my combination rejected or deemed inappropriate?

We comply with strict guidelines from the Department of Transport and Main Roads and we think it’s best to keep it clean and play nice on our roads. A personalised plate is an official form of identification so every combination must be assessed against a number of criteria.

"Unacceptable" plates include: 

• Plates promoting unsafe, violent or harmful behaviour, particularly on the roads, and plates referencing weapons
• Plates promoting alcohol, illegal drugs or criminal activity
• Plates that are propagandistic, discriminatory, or could offend members or citizens of a distinct culture or a particular religion, nation, race, or minority status
• Plates that could be considered offensive to Government Departments
• Plates including content that may be defamatory, in breach of any laws, regulations, rules, codes or third party rights or otherwise objectionable in the absolute discretion of PPQ
• Plates that create ambiguity in identification of a vehicle, or enables mistaken recognition of a vehicle and/or its occupants.

PPQ reserves the right to reject submitted plate orders deemed unacceptable and these plates will attract a cancellation fee of $100.

We’re not the fun police so if you have something fun and cheeky in mind but you're unsure if it's "appropriate", give us a call on 136 356 and we can have a chat. We'd love to hear from you!
