North Carolina has passed legislation authorizing a Gold Star license plate.

If you are eligible for the Gold Star pin issued by the Dept of Defense you are also eligible for the North Carolina GSF license plate. Eligible individuals are: Widow, Widower, Mother, Father, Stepmother/father, Mother/father through adoption, Foster mother/father in loco parentis, Son, Daughter, Stepson/daughter, Son/daughter by adoption, Brother, Sister, Half brother/sister.

The previous requirement that there be 300 orders before production could begin has been removed. If you had previously sent in an application form and had it returned you must re-apply.

The NC Gold Star license plate is in production and should be available by April or May, 2008. If you are interested in getting a North Carolina Gold Star Family license plate print out the application (it can take several seconds for the application to appear), fill it out and mail it to the address at the top with the appropriate fee. If you have questions contact Norma Luther from the Azalea Chapter (see the left column).

The application is in pdf format so you will need Adobe Reader to view and print it. Most computers already have this software installed.

Virginia and Tennessee also have Gold Star License plates law in effect. Apply to the respective DMV's for details.
