In the state of
Idaho
, any frame that doesn’t obscure the necessary text and registration stickers on your license plate
is legal. License plate frames have become increasingly popular in recent years and they come in a wide range of colors and styles.

But we don’t often think about whether or not those plate frames could land us in trouble until we’re pulled over and cited! Believe it or not, every state has its own rules about license plate frames, and Idaho is no exception.

Are license plate frames legal in Idaho?
Yes, license plate frames are legal in the state of Idaho as long as the frame doesn’t cover or obscure any text or
vehicle registration
stickers on the plate. What are the rules for license plate frames in Idaho?
Section 49-428
of the Idaho Statutes states that license plates must be “be maintained free from foreign materials and in a condition to be clearly legible.” This means no part of the plate’s text, including the plate number, registration stickers, or even the name of the state itself, can be covered up in any way.
What about license plate covers?
License plate covers, unlike frames, are not legal in Idaho. The state’s legal code prohibits anything from covering the entire plate, even if the material is clear.
