New Jersey thanks our military veterans who proudly served to protect our freedom. To
honor you, a special designation has been created for display on your driver’s license or non-driver ID card.
On March 1, 2015, in an effort to provide this recognition to you as quickly as possible, the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) began issuing custom-designed stickers to those veterans who wish to display them on their driver’s licenses or non-driver ID cards. The MVC will notify those of you who requested these stickers at a later date when a permanently imprinted veteran’s designation is available.
You may request your honorary veteran’s recognition sticker in person or by mail.
In person
Visit any MVC agency and bring both of the following documents to receive your veteran’s recognition sticker. The sticker will come with instructions for attaching it properly to your driver’s license or non-driver ID card.
