Gold Star License Plates

Gold Star License Plates are special vehicle registration plates awarded to immediate family members of service members who have lost their lives in active duty. They honor the sacrifice of fallen military personnel and display a gold star emblem. These plates help recognize and memorialize the service and sacrifice of military families, providing a visible symbol of their loss while allowing lawful vehicle operation. Typically, eligibility requires proof of the family member’s military service and death in the line of duty. They serve both as a tribute and a means for families to publicly honor their loved ones.
