How to Register for DV Plates

If you currently have regular plates and wish to switch to Disabled Veteran (DV) plates, follow the steps outlined below. This guide will help ensure that your registration process is smooth and efficient.

Required Documentation

Before starting the registration process, gather the necessary documents:

• Reg 256 V Form: This form must be completed in full. It serves as your application for DV plates.
• Medical Certification or VA Letter: You need either a medical certification confirming your disability or a letter from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) stating your eligibility for DV plates.

Steps to Register

Follow these simple steps to register for your DV plates:

1. Complete Reg 256 V: Ensure all sections are filled out accurately. Double-check for any missing information before proceeding.
2. Aquire Medical Certification/VA Letter: If you don’t already have this document, contact your healthcare provider or the VA office to obtain it.
3. Create a Submission Package: Compile Reg 256 V along with either the medical certification or VA letter into one package. Make sure everything is signed where required.
4. Select Your Submission Method:
• You can submit all documentation at once directly at your local DMV office.
• An alternative option is submitting through SPU (State Processing Unit). Verify if this method suits you better based on location and convenience.

Additonal Tips

- **Check Local Requirements:** Some states may have additional requirements; always check with local authorities. - **Keep Copies:** Before submitting any documents, make copies of everything for your records. - **Follow Up:** After submission, consider following up with the DMV or SPU within a few weeks to confirm that everything has been processed.
