Pearl Harbor Plates
A separate application form is not required, but you must present proof of your duty station.

Or a DD-214 form listing your duty station on December 7, 1941 as within a three-mile radius of the exact location of the bombing.

How Do I Get These Plates?

/ Back To Top
You must meet the specific requirements listed on each plate's application.
For Pearl Harbor plates, present one of the acceptable documents listed above. There is no separate application.
If your vehicle is currently registered in Nevada, download and complete the appropriate application. Bring this, any required documentation and the old plates to a DMV Full Service Office or County Assessor which offers vehicle registration services. If you wish to keep the old plates, you must bring the rear plate and surrender the decal in person.
If you choose to keep the same expiration date, we will issue your new plates with a new registration slip and decal. No emissions inspection or registration renewal is required. A $5 substitute plate fee will apply.
You have the option of renewing your vehicle registration for a full year. In addition to the plate application, you will need to complete an emissions inspection if required and if the last test was completed more than 90 days ago. Your expiration date will change if the current expiration date is more than 35 days away. Credit will be given for the unused portion of your current Nevada registration.
If you have just purchased a vehicle or are registering it in Nevada for the first time, see the full list of Registration Requirements or New Resident Guide and use our online Registration Fee Estimates. Bring all required documentation along with the appropriate license plate application to a DMV Full Service Office or County Assessor which offers vehicle registration services.
Personalized - Use our online Personalized Plate Search to check for available numbers. Complete the personalized section of the Veteran License Plate Application (sp33). You can order by mail, fax or in person at a DMV office. See How to Order Custom Plates for details.
