This is a license plate that anyone in Alberta, Canada can pay extra to have on their cars. Please show us , on RP, what one can get from the various states and/or territories that Active, Reserve, Guard, veteran or retired can purchase for their vehicles or motorcyles. I know some may just be in support of military personnel while others must show proof of service or award to get these plates. Happy Memorial Day!

With my extra $4.00, my plates cost me $28.00. I lived in Denver, CO for a few years. Are your tags still based on the value of the vehicle?

What grates on my nerves is having to pay extra for my plates with US Navy veteran. You would think the state would do this at no charge.

Funny how are illegal aliens in California get free college Community College tuition yes veterans at the pay for license plates.

Apparently, you are owed a debt for your service to the nation, yet the ability to show your pride in the service is a "privilege" worthy of taxing.

MCPO Roger Collins - 25 bucks. I haven't got it yet. I just transfered my plates over to Louisiana and then I bought a new car and got stuck with AL plates.

Reasonable. But IMO, that small benefit, service related identifiers should be no charge to those that served.

I have had specialized military vanity tags in Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Texas, and Nebraska.

It is going to depend on the state, but Most states have this as an option, I remember the case for Iowa, California and Virginia.

Roger, this was meant to be show and tell and to keep the theme of Memorial Day and to maybe inform/inspire others to get a vantiy plate they like.

Thanks for sharing LTC (Join to see). Most states have many different license plates that support service members and veterans of all stripes.

In Alaska, for veterans at 50% disability or higher, they get the "Disabled Veteran" plates for free and vehicle registration is waived off for life.Plenty of other plates to include unit patches.

This is actually a great question because despite being out for 2 years I didn't think about military plates until this year when I was doing my registration renewal. I'm in NC and the process was actually fairly easy despite being given the runaround initially. All I had to do was get a form filled out be the VA which happened to be around the corner. Attached is the first part of the form which shows how many options there are along with whether or not they carry an extra fee.

As you can see from my screenshots, the plates themselves will either have your respective Ribbon, Medal, or Branch Insignia off to the side.

It's State dependent Sir. Some States offer plates for free, some offer them at a price. Some offer certain plates for free, for example if a SM received a Purple Heart then they would receive a specialized Veteran plate for free. Some other award variant plates might be available as well, such as a BSM plate.
In my State it costs $25 to get a Veteran plate if you show them a CAC or DD214, I think a portion of the money goes to a Veteran based charity.
