Veteran Plate

The facts

To prove eligibility for Veterans Plates, customers must prove that they received an honorable discharge from military service. Any of the following documents are acceptable proof of honorable discharge: • A DD-214 that indicates “Honorable” in the Character of Service box (which will not always be located in the same place on the form). Note that only the long form (full page) DD-214 is acceptable; the short form (halfpage) cannot be accepted. • A DD-215 (which is an amended version of the DD-214) that indicates an honorable discharge. • An Honorable Discharge form (this was used during WWII and the Korean War). In order to be acceptable, the information on the form presented must be typed (never handwritten). For more information on how to obtain these documents, please call the US Veterans' Administration at 800-827-1000. Veterans are eligible for one set of plates for each vehicle registered in their name. Veterans’ Plate without Flag Veterans’ Plate with Flag 82

Use the listed prefix and manual examples as evidence. The broad specialty fallback is not proof that every suffix arrangement is issued.

Prefix history

A series can change its printed prefix over the years. Only the current one is issued on new requests.

Reading the format

In a pattern, L is one letter and N is one digit. The printed prefix VT is fixed — the pattern above is only the part you pick. Format rules describe what plate numbers in this series look like — they are not a claim that any particular plate number is unregistered or available.
