Form Mv2653 PDF Details

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) provides a unique opportunity for individuals who have served in the military, are currently serving, or are associated with a military academy to honor their service through specialized license plates. The MV2653 form acts as both an informational guide and an application for obtaining these military license plates. Applicants eligible for this distinctive recognition include owners, lessees, or trust beneficiaries of certain types of vehicles, such as automobiles, motor homes, private trucks, and farm trucks with specific gross weight limitations. It’s important to note that these plates do not grant any special parking privileges. Additionally, more than 50 service and/or medal designations can be showcased on the plates, offering a personalized touch to veterans and service members' vehicles. The process includes a modest issuance fee, part of which benefits the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Trust Fund, potentially offering a tax deduction for certain applicants. Those interested in personalized plates face additional considerations, including specific character limits and spacing rules. The application process is straightforward but requires due attention to detail, including proof of eligibility, payment of fees, and the completion of necessary documentation. WisDOT also accommodates requests for non-disclosure of personal information under Wisconsin's open records law and complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act, ensuring wide accessibility for applicants. With options for non-personalized or personalized plates, the form outlines a clear path for military personnel and veterans to showcase their service proudly on their vehicles.
