Motorists in the state of Vermont could soon be permitted to use license plates featuring emojis, CNET reports.
A piece of legislation introduced by Rep. Rebecca White, a Democrat from Windsor, Vermont, and currently before the Vermont House of Representatives, has proposed a plate that would allow drivers to add one of six emojis to feature alongside the standard set of numbers assigned by the commissioner of motor vehicles. Vehicle owners could also add an emoji to a unique set of numbers or letters they may select for a vanity plate.
If the bill is passed, Vermont will become the first state in the U.S. to allow emojis to be added to license plates. At this stage, it is unclear what emojis could be offered to customers.

Remarkably, the state of Vermont isn’t the first jurisdiction we know of to allow motorists to have emojis applied to their license plates.
Roughly 12 months ago, the Australian state of Queensland introduced personalized license plates with five emojis to choose from. These were the laugh out loud, winking face, sunglasses emoji, heart eyes, and the smiling face emoji. Drivers in Queensland are restricted to just one emoji on their license plates and the symbol is purely decorative and doesn’t actually form part of the vehicle’s registration number.
