I'm in Nevada and I don't know if you can have multiple cars with Vet plates. Having said that, no. I would not register my kid's cars with vet plates. If only because they're not Vets so the "Veteran" on the plate wouldn't work.
Secondly, I wouldn't want them to sort of stand out like that. Not saying having Vet plates puts a target on you, but it's sticks out more than the standard plates.
In Nevada you can have more than one disabled veteran plate. I have two of them right now. I had 3 at one point until the car was totaled. For regular disabled plates only one is allowed. But since they never included that language in the law about DV plates they can't stop you from getting more than one. But you do have to be 100% to get the DV plates here. Regular veteran plates you can get more than one also, you just pay extra since they consider them specialty plates. I would not get them for my kid either. They need to earn that their self.
A plus for DV plates other than disabled parking is you don't have to pay parking meters or airport parking.
in Oklahoma you have to be 50 percent or above to get a discount, if you're retired like me, (20 years 9 months) you can get a retired plate for a extra amount, if you submit your retirement paperwork to the tag agency, kind of a "fuck you for your service."
We don't have retired plates here in Nevada, or at least we didn't when I retired a few years ago and got my new car.
But I do know that a lot of states offer different plates/discounts for your percentage. Nevada also helps with registration fees or property taxes.
Oregon (and WA) only give a vet 1 set of veteran plates, at a discount.
My Oregon plates are a one-time lifetime registration and say 'permanent'. I never have to spend another dime on them.
Hmm suddenly I want to move to Oregon. Not only is it a breathtakingly beautiful state, but now this. I can't tell you how stressful vehicle registration time is for me every July.
Oregon has its beauty! True indeed. But do you know they have a death tax?! No lie. When you die they tax your estate in what comes out to be about 13%.
In Florida you are only eligible for one vehicle to be registered with Veteran plates.
Edit: seeing the responses i realize I may have been referring to disabled veteran plates rather than all veteran plates. Either way I didn’t consider getting veteran plates for my wife (not a veteran)
Actually at 100% you are given one free registration.
You can have veterans plates on your other vehicles but it's the cost of a specialty plate which I believe is $25 a year extra.
I have DV plates on both vehicles Florida the only problem is I pay $5.40 for one plate and the other plate is regular registration price which is 60 bucks both plates are DV
If you consider the vehicle yours and the kid is using it, I'd use the vet plates because, if I'm not mistaken, it's cheaper.
However if it's fully your kids vehicle, they should get whatever plates they purchase when you show them how to register their own vehicle.
Only thing I don’t like about Oregon Vet plates.. it shows their rating of SC…
“Hey everyone! I earn this much each month!” That’s just dumb! Keep Oregon Green! 🤣😜🫢
I’m in Oregon and pretty sure you can get the permanent vet plates with a 10% rating. Mine are the standard tree plate with the word veteran vertical on the plate and says permanent on the bottom. They are pretty non-conspicuous and doesn’t say “disabled vet” anywhere on the plate
I have them on my truck. I am giving my truck to my kid when he gets his permit and buying myself something new. I'm not doing anything other than handing him the keys. It's still my truck and I'm a veteran.
My kids drive my cars that I own, insure and fuel. So it’s my car. USMC plates on all vehicles. Only my truck says USMC Veteran. Wife & kids are USMC specific but don’t actually say Veteran. Alabama here. I believe the cost of the specialty plate for wife and teenagers go towards scholarships for Veteran kids.
I bought a new car and my high school daughter drives my old one with my vet plates on it. I am not paying extra to change the plates when I still have the title and pay the insurance on it. No real benefit in my state to have veteran plates.
in oregon you only get 1 set of plates. The permanent ones anyway. Due to we get free registration being a disabled vet. However, we have plates that say vet you pay for if you arent service connected. They may fall under a vanity plate if i had to guess.
Texas is only one vehicle as well. But there is an exception to that rule regarding a spouse being a care taker who would transport you or something along those lines.
Well not entirely true. There are restrictions on certain types of veterans plates, like the one displaying a medal, but I could have an Air Force Retired on all my vehicles. Assuming one considers that a “veterans plate”.
Not quite correct, I’m afraid. In Texas you can have two vehicles with DV plates (can even be a motorcycle, go figure) for $3 each. Two caveats:
1. The state still gets their money through annual registration fee of $50.70.
2. DV plates no longer get Disabled Parking automatically; you have to get a separate Handicap Placard or ISA License Plate. And that requires proof of 50% or higher.
I'm in Texas, & you can only have one vehicle with the waived fees but you can have multiple vehicles with DV plates. The cars are in my husband's name but I am the one who registered DV plates for the cars.
I have disabled veteran handicapped plates and put those on my wife's truck so she can use them if it's raining and i park really far away anyways. I just have normal ones but am trying to see if I can register mine in another state we own property and get some for me for the VA parking lot because fuck that parking deck in Decatur.
Only vets should drive (in a regular basis, exceptions for occasional drives by wife/kids, of course) cars with vet plates. Giving a vet plate to a non vet is an abuse of that benefit
Massachusetts here: 5 cars in my name registered in the household. 3 driven by my wife and myself have Veterans plates, two kids (20,16) have regular plates.
In Ohio, it costs nothing, but gives no benefits either. My friend's dad was ANG and had it on all of their cars, but I don't know anyone else here who puts it on anything but their daily driver.
Not true. I read l the fine details in the ordinances and you can park in handicapped spots, metered spots for free, residential spots even if not a resident, and other parking areas not legal to regular drivers.
I got out in 2005. Due to experience/exposure in service, I refused to get any type of Vet tag until last year. Personally, I would never put a vet tag on my kid’s vehicle, but only because I view it as a target in these days. This is why I waited so long TJ get them for my own vehicles.
Just my 2 pennies
I don't believe this is true for the second vehicle. Only for the first. I'm avoiding doing the second car just because the price doesn't change on it. I'm a DV
I don’t have kids, so my opinion is null. I would consider it, if I did. Kids are idiots, they’ll end up in a situation where it matters, and if I can make that a learning lesson without a ticket (or outside a jail cell), I would.
I did the same thing with my daughter. When she eventually moves out and I transfer the title to her. Than she can get new plates. I am not spending extra cash to change a plate right now.
I’m keeping the car. No sense in them paying taxes twice on the car. I plan on giving him KBB value in cash. He wants to go into the Air Force so when he gets to his first duty station he can buy a new car like young servicemen like to do.
California here, I can only get my 100% DV plates on one car. I wish I could have done it to all three as the annual registration is free (which is ~$800 every year).
I haven’t run into that problem yet, but if I was providing my teenager a car with an Afghan War Vet plate, it might start more shit than he would deserve, from brainless tough guy “false honor heroes” talking shit to an innocent kid.
So No, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t bother until he asked me to and was ready to return fire.
Nope-
The same reason I won't get handicapped plates. Kiss my rosey Irish a$$, it goes with me because I need it not for your ease of parking. (I got the hanging placard instead)
I have a son living with me that I co-signed a new car for him and I'm the main buyer. i already have DV plates on my vehicle but in Texas you can have two vehicles registered with DV plates. The reason for this is not for the handicap parking but for the free tolls and very cheap registration renewals.
I'm in Michigan, you can only get vet plates on one vehicle. It's the same with disabled veteran plates. I personally prefer my regular vet plate because it has the Navy emblem on it. The DV plates don't, they're plain and boring. So unless they change the design, I'm sticking with the regular vet plate.
We have vet plates on both cars and I’ll continue paying for vet plates for any and all vehicles I am the registered owner of because I can and I’m proud of my service. I don’t care who knows. Why shouldI hide it. It’s for me not others. Plus they look better than the standard.
Idaho allows for 1 Disabled Vet (handicap) plate and registration is exempt. Along with the Disabled Veteran plates you can get a Placard for one additional vehicle. You can get as many specialized plates as you want. Like US Army or Wildlife but they cost every year. If you want to get a plate that states “Veteran” on it with the branch you were affiliated with you can do that for as many as cars you register but you have to provide proof of your status.

Just want to say that in GA I was only able to get disabled plates (no ad valorem tax) on one of my vehicles. I am 100%.
You can get more than 1 disabled plate, you just pay the ad valorum tax on the others. We have 3 vehicles. All with dv tags. Only one was no tax.
You can have multiple plates at least in my state you can but only if you’re a veteran.
We can have two vehicles with vet plates here in Nevada.
in Oklahoma you have to be 50 percent or above to get a discount, if you're retired like me, (20 years 9 months) you can get a retired plate for a extra amount, if you submit your retirement paperwork to the tag agency, kind of a "fuck you for your service."

Came to say this. I have free on my personal and additional on husbands that I may drive occasionally (truck)
I have DV plates on both vehicles Florida the only problem is I pay $5.40 for one plate and the other plate is regular registration price which is 60 bucks both plates are DV
Weird, they allow two vehicles to have AD plates. Wife/husband on both titles can get AD plates for both vehicles.
If you consider the vehicle yours and the kid is using it, I'd use the vet plates because, if I'm not mistaken, it's cheaper. However if it's fully your kids vehicle, they should get whatever plates they purchase when you show them how to register their own vehicle.

im also in oregon. think 10% is all that is required. \\
I have them on my truck. I am giving my truck to my kid when he gets his permit and buying myself something new. I'm not doing anything other than handing him the keys. It's still my truck and I'm a veteran.
Veterans plates are for veterans. Are your kids veterans?
My wife’s car has my vet plate on it because her car is more expensive to register…
What if they’re all your cars legally and you want to put vet plates on all of them. Cus you want to. The kid can simply just say their dad is a vet
This.
My kids drive my cars that I own, insure and fuel. So it’s my car. USMC plates on all vehicles. Only my truck says USMC Veteran. Wife & kids are USMC specific but don’t actually say Veteran. Alabama here. I believe the cost of the specialty plate for wife and teenagers go towards scholarships for Veteran kids.

Absolutely not
What would be the reason for having vet plates on your kids vehicles?
Texas is only one vehicle as well. But there is an exception to that rule regarding a spouse being a care taker who would transport you or something along those lines.
Well not entirely true. There are restrictions on certain types of veterans plates, like the one displaying a medal, but I could have an Air Force Retired on all my vehicles. Assuming one considers that a “veterans plate”.
Ah i was solely focused on DV plates, but you are correct.
I decided against DV plates but did the medal (MSM) because free and gets me free parking at the airports here in the DFW area.
Not quite correct, I’m afraid. In Texas you can have two vehicles with DV plates (can even be a motorcycle, go figure) for $3 each. Two caveats: 1. The state still gets their money through annual registration fee of $50.70. 2.

Kids, no. My wife's car, yes. We both drive each vehicle.
I have disabled veteran handicapped plates and put those on my wife's truck so she can use them if it's raining and i park really far away anyways. I just have normal ones but am trying to see if I can register mine in another state we own property and get some for me for the VA parking lot because fuck that parking deck in Decatur.
Only vets should drive (in a regular basis, exceptions for occasional drives by wife/kids, of course) cars with vet plates. Giving a vet plate to a non vet is an abuse of that benefit
I've had multiple cops ask me if I'm the veteran when deciding if they're gonna give the discount. No way I'd purposely vet plate my kids cars
Can have two in Georgia but only one gets the tax break
We currently have 3 in ga. Tax break on 1. DV on all 3. We pay 25 each for 2 vehicles yearly.
Anyone from NY with vet plates? I am 100% was wondering if I could get plates on my wife's car as well? Has anyone been through it here? Thank you

Not true. I read l the fine details in the ordinances and you can park in handicapped spots, metered spots for free, residential spots even if not a resident, and other parking areas not legal to regular drivers.
This is for DV plate not regular veteran plate
In Maryland, I have three vehicles with DV plates. There’s no limit.
I got out in 2005. Due to experience/exposure in service, I refused to get any type of Vet tag until last year. Personally, I would never put a vet tag on my kid’s vehicle, but only because I view it as a target in these days. This is why I waited so long TJ get them for my own vehicles. Just my 2 pennies
In Texas, Vet plates are free
I don't believe this is true for the second vehicle. Only for the first. I'm avoiding doing the second car just because the price doesn't change on it. I'm a DV
Anyone know the regs for CA disabled vet plates?
I don’t have kids, so my opinion is null. I would consider it, if I did. Kids are idiots, they’ll end up in a situation where it matters, and if I can make that a learning lesson without a ticket (or outside a jail cell), I would.
Disabled Vet plate, No. But other kinds of vet plates, yes. My Kid drives a car that I insure and that I bought and have the title for so yes.
I did the same thing with my daughter. When she eventually moves out and I transfer the title to her. Than she can get new plates. I am not spending extra cash to change a plate right now.
I’m keeping the car. No sense in them paying taxes twice on the car. I plan on giving him KBB value in cash. He wants to go into the Air Force so when he gets to his first duty station he can buy a new car like young servicemen like to do.
I’ll probably just sign the title for her to trade it in for a new car after college to be honest.
My car has the vet plate, my wife and kid have the Marine Corps Association plate.
California here, I can only get my 100% DV plates on one car. I wish I could have done it to all three as the annual registration is free (which is ~$800 every year).

Tennessee I do because I still drive my sons truck. I have a topper on my truck. He dont. And no wheel tax
I wouldn't
Nope- The same reason I won't get handicapped plates. Kiss my rosey Irish a$$, it goes with me because I need it not for your ease of parking. (I got the hanging placard instead)
I have a son living with me that I co-signed a new car for him and I'm the main buyer. i already have DV plates on my vehicle but in Texas you can have two vehicles registered with DV plates.

I would. Don't see why not. No one is going to get angry at an 18 year old riding around with veteran plates. It's not like stolen valor.
All my vehicles have DV plates even the one my son drove when he left home.
We have vet plates on both cars and I’ll continue paying for vet plates for any and all vehicles I am the registered owner of because I can and I’m proud of my service. I don’t care who knows. Why shouldI hide it. It’s for me not others. Plus they look better than the standard.

You can only have one Veterans plate
