Coming on the 247th anniversary of the establishment of the U.S. Navy, the Virginia Department of Transportation on Oct. 13 announced a new specialty license plate honoring those who are currently serving, or have served, in the Navy.
The plate was approved by the General Assembly and Gov. Youngkin.
“DMV offers a number of license plates honoring our Armed Forces. We are proud to add the United States Navy as an option to those who are bravely serving or have served,” said acting DMV Commissioner Linda Ford.
The license plate is available to those actively serving in the Navy, those who have been honorably discharged after at least six months of active duty, or those who have retired from the U.S. Navy. Unremarried surviving spouses of those eligible may also be issued the plate.
The new license plate is available for an annual fee of $25 on top of other fees. After the DMV issues 1,000 plates, $15 from each purchase will be paid into the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society Fund to support its operations in Virginia.
