What do I Need for Specialty Plates?

In most cases you must be the vehicle owner and complete and sign an Application for Special Plates. Some plates can be issued and applied for with only the application, however other plates require additional information.  Email Motor Vehicle Department for specific instructions.

For Veteran’s & Military plates you will need to complete and sign an Application for Special Plates  AND in most cases provide an original or certified copy of your DD214 (discharge papers) that meets the requirement for the plate you are applying for. For Military Organization Plates, you need to provide a copy of your organization membership card.  Please visit DVS’s Veteran’s Plate Information page or contact us for specific information.  If you are still on active duty, a letter from your commanding officer is acceptable.
