License Plates

Ohio Military and Veteran License Plates

Ohio offers military and veteran license plates for branches of service, decorations, veteran status, and eligible family categories. DMVQ is an independent guide and does not order plates or verify eligibility.

Most military and veteran plates require documentation. Verify the current requirements with the official Ohio BMV before you visit or order.

What to prepare

  • Proof of service or eligibility, such as a DD-214 when required.
  • Current vehicle registration or title information.
  • Proof of insurance when registration work is involved.
  • Payment for any registration, plate, or contribution fees.

Official verification
