PLEASE OBSERVE ALL STATE AND COUNTY LAWS FOR LICENSE PLATE DISPLAYS BEFORE ORDERING.
For our friends in Hawaii:
Q: Are safety check brackets illegal? If not, where can we place them on our vehicles? I’m referring to the devices used to place safety check stickers instead of on the bumper of vehicles. Mahalo.
A: Safety check brackets are legal, if utilized according to the Hawaiʻi Administrative Rules for the State Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Safety Office for the Periodic Inspection of Vehicles.
§19-133.2-24 states that a special bracket may be installed horizontally under the right portion or center of the rear bumper, or either horizontally or vertically on the license plate.
The face of the license plate is not an appropriate place. The safety inspection sticker should be able to be clearly seen by someone 50 feet behind the vehicle.
