Gold Star Family License Plates

Gold Star Family License Plates honor immediate family members who have lost a U.S. military service member in the line of duty. These special plates are issued to spouses, parents, siblings, or children of fallen service members, serving as a tribute to their sacrifice. Typically, they feature a distinctive design with a gold star symbol. The plates allow families to display their loved one's service and sacrifice on their vehicle, fostering recognition and respect within the community. Eligibility usually requires proof of the family member's death in active duty, and the plates may be provided at a reduced or no cost, depending on the jurisdiction.
