Veteran License Plates South Carolina:

[DoggyDaddy]

Special license plates that recognize South Carolina’s veterans, active military personnel and their parents are among dozens of new plate designs authorized by legislators. Two laws passed last month add to the scores of specialty plates issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles. They include plates recognizing recipients of military medals, veterans injured in combat and each branch of the Armed Forces. The number of specialty plates in South Carolina jumps to 370 when including those that identify current legislators, members of various public boards and commissions, and the judiciary. Rep. Mike Pitts said he thinks the state should limit its specialized plates to the military. “Veterans deserve a special distinction,” said Pitts, R-Laurens. “They should be recognized.” But the retired police officer said the plethora of other plates creates a safety hazard for officers as they attempt to stop vehicles. When calling into dispatch, an officer may not be able to recognize what state issued the license or make out its numbers, Pitts said. Extra fees paid for a special plate benefit the sponsoring organization. Plates that identify military veterans and award recipients are fee-free. At present South Carolina offers 19 different specialty license plates/placards to its veterans. To view the available military plates and access the appropriate guidelines for issuance of each plate. Refer to  http://www.scdmvonline.com/DMVNew/PlateGallery.aspx?q=Military
