More veterans qualify for special plates
New Hampshire veterans with a general discharge under honorable conditions now qualify for veteran plates and an optional driver's license veteran mark. Plate applicants must apply, provide authorized proof of veteran status, and pay regular registration fees plus $4 per plate. Renewals still cost the standard vehicle registration fee. Plates cannot be transferred, except to a surviving spouse, who can use them until remarriage. Veterans honorably discharged from nations allied with the United States during World War II remain eligible with proof of service. The law takes effect 60 days after passage.
