The Arizona Veteran License Plate was designed by ADOT at the request of the veteran community to serve multiple purposes. Two main functions are to allow veterans to display their pride in their honorable military service to our country and to fund programs for the veterans of Arizona. $17 of the $25 special plate fee goes to the Veterans’ Donation Fund, which is used in many ways to help Arizona’s veteran community: health care, education, memorial cemeteries maintenance, va debt consolidation loan and the State Veteran’s Home, a skilled nursing center. By law, the Fund is used only for Arizona’s veteran programs and cannot be absorbed into the state’s general fund. It’s a shame that only a plate is offered to our veterans, and not more such as cheap car insurance Arizona.

Hello,
I’m contemplating whether or not to obtain this plate. As a veteran, I was wondering, if I already have my exp. tag and registered plate, will there be more additional fees in getting a veterans plate?
Thank you.
All specialty plates have additional fee of $25 per year.
