Yes, license plate frames are legal in all 50 states as long as they do not obscure, cover, or alter any required information on the plate—including numbers, letters, registration stickers, state name, and validation decals. Autoerra frames are specifically designed with slim borders to meet these requirements.

Florida (HB 253, effective Oct 2025) and California (CVC § 5201) have the strictest enforcement. Florida now classifies any plate obstruction as a criminal offense with fines up to $500. New York also bans any frame or cover that distorts plate visibility. Autoerra's slim-profile design complies with all of these standards.

Yes. If your frame covers any part of the plate number, registration sticker, or state name, you can receive a citation. Fines range from $25 to $500+ depending on the state. Some states like Florida can impose up to 60 days jail time for severe obstruction. Autoerra eliminates this risk with precision-fit engineering.

No. Autoerra frames feature an ultra-slim top bezel that leaves the state name, motto, and all design elements fully visible. This is critical for compliance in states like California, where covering 'California' text is specifically prohibited.

Most aftermarket frames—especially thick metal or oversized novelty frames—have wide borders that encroach on plate text. Autoerra uses anti-shock engineered polymer with precision-molded slim borders that maximize the visible plate area while providing superior durability, rust resistance, and silent operation.

Absolutely. Our design accounts for all sticker placement locations across different states—whether top corners, bottom corners, or center positions. No sticker is ever obstructed.
