Frequently Asked Questions
What are military license plates?
Military license plates are novelty aluminum plates featuring armed forces branch insignia, patriotic graphics, and military service tributes. Unlike official motor vehicle department plates issued to a vehicle registered under active duty status, these are decorative pieces requiring no completed application or department approval.
What sizes are available for military license plates?
Smart Blonde’s military plates are made to standard US license plate dimensions, typically 6x12 inches. This matches the size used on passenger vehicles, making them compatible with standard custom license plate frames for vehicle display or wall mounting. Some specialty designs may vary slightly, so check individual product listings for additional information.
Are military license plates good for decoration?
Absolutely. Military license plates are one of the most popular novelty items for decorating garages, man caves, offices, and entryways. The bold armed forces graphics and branch insignia print sharply on aluminum stock and hold their color well over time. Many customers display multiple military plates together as a collection, mixing branch designs, bronze star tributes, and more.
Do military license plates come with mounting holes?
Yes. Our military license plates come with pre-drilled mounting holes, making them ready to hang or frame right out of the package. Mounting a plate directly on a vehicle, adding it to a shadow box display, or hanging it on a wall? No additional drilling is required.
