Veteran License Plates

Engagement Summary

Beginning in 2004, military veterans have been eligible to apply for a special Veteran License Plate (VLP) to recognize and honour their service. Since the program’s inception, Government has received requests to expand the eligibility criteria to allow for other groups of drivers to be able to receive a VLP.
 
Most recently, the Royal Canadian Legion Dominion Command, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Veterans’ Association and others have requested the Province and ICBC consider making the plates available to police officers – specifically RCMP members.
 
This engagement sought feedback from British Columbians about whether they think the existing criteria for the VLP program should be changed to include police officers, or whether it should remain the same.
