Members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who have served for at least three years of active duty are now eligible for veteran licence plates.

SGI made the announcement today. The change to eligibility requirements was made to reflect the change the Royal Canadian Legion made to the definition of “veteran” which now includes RCMP members.

People who are eligible for veteran licence plates after serving with the RCMP or in military service of Canada can apply for a plate by submitting an application and relevant documents to the Legion. The Legion will confirm the applicant’s veteran status and forward the approved application to SGI. Once the application is approved, their veteran plate will be sent in the mail. Once they receive the plate the customer needs to visit or call their motor licence issuer to have the plate associated with their vehicle.
