The Virgin Islands Office of Veterans Affairs on Tuesday notified Veterans that the new Veterans’ license plate is available at its St. Thomas and St. Croix offices.
Plates will be issued between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday – Friday, the release said. Veterans’ license plates are free to Veterans, however, the Veteran must pay for the registration process.
In order to receive a Veteran license plate, you must be a registered Veteran within the Virgin Islands Office of Veterans Affairs. If you are not registered within the V.I. Office of Veterans Affairs, you must bring your DD214 showing proof of your Veteran status to the office. Veterans cannot receive their new license plates any earlier than one week prior to the month they are required to register their vehicle.
Once the month for you to register your vehicle has passed, your old Veterans license plates can no longer be registered.
“This will assist us with having all previous Veterans plates off of the street by April 30, 2020,” the local VA said.
In addition to being registered in the office, Veterans must present the registration document that is about to be renewed. Veterans that are importing a car to the territory must present proof of paying road tax on your vehicle before receiving a set of plates.
As a reminder, each Veteran is authorized to have no more than two sets of Veterans plates registered in their name.
For further information, call the Virgin Islands Office of Veterans Affairs in either district at (340) 773-8387 St. Croix or (340) 774-8387 St. Thomas.
