License plate frames are generally legal, but laws vary by state and country. In the U.S., most states allow frames as long as they do not obstruct any important information on the plate, such as:
- State name
- Registration tags/stickers
- Plate numbers/letters
Some states have stricter regulations than others. For example, California and Texas prohibit frames that cover even part of the state name or registration stickers.
To ensure compliance, check your local DMV regulations before purchasing or installing a frame. Always choose a design that keeps all essential details fully visible to avoid potential fines.
