A campaign is underway in Virginia to create a special license plate honoring female veterans.
The Virginia Department of Veterans Affairs said a minimum of 450 pre-applications are needed for the proposal to be approved by the Virginia General Assembly in the 2023 session. The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles will create a new plate.
“Virginia is proud to be home to more than 109,000 women veterans – the largest percentage of women veterans per population of any state in America,” said Danielle Gade, DVS commissioner, in a news release. “These women veterans deserve unique recognition for their service, and the women veteran license plate will give them that opportunity.”
Applications and deposits must be received by January 11, 2023. Female Veteran license plate application forms are available online at www.dvs.virginia.gov
