Military families save on sacrifice plates

North Dakota creates military sacrifice plates and waives the extra $25 plate fee each registration period. Eligible relatives are family members of someone who died outside a combat zone while serving honorably, with no finding of willful misconduct. Family includes spouses, parents, stepparents, people who acted as parents, siblings—including adopted and half-siblings—children—including adopted and stepchildren—and grandparents. The Department of Veterans’ Affairs must certify eligibility upon request. Plates are limited to passenger vehicles or trucks with a registered gross vehicle weight rating of 20,000 pounds or less. Required registration fees and any applicable transfer fees still apply.
