California allows customized plates with 2–7 characters, along with special plates supporting causes like coastal preservation, child safety, and veterans.

Interestingly, New York issued the first license plate in the U.S. in 1901, requiring vehicle owners to display their initials—with George F. Chamberlain receiving the very first one.
