The Support Our Troops Licence Plate is an official Alberta specialty plate that honours current and former members of the Canadian Armed Forces.
Unlike the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames specialty plates, this plate is not connected to a sports team. It is a cause-based plate that allows Alberta drivers to show visible support for military members, veterans, and their families.
Accu-Search can help you understand the ordering requirements, confirm the next registry step, and support the registration process once your Support our Troops plate is ready to be used on an eligible vehicle.
The Support our Troops Licence Plate can be ordered by anyone. You do not need to be a current or former member of the Canadian Armed Forces to order this plate.
This plate may be a good option if you:
The plate is intended for passenger vehicles used for personal transportation and must be registered before it is attached to a vehicle.
Before ordering a Support our Troops Licence Plate, review the main Alberta specialty plate requirements.
Support our Troops specialty plates:
If your vehicle registration is under a different name or more than one name, visit a registry agent before ordering or registering the plate.
The Support our Troops Licence Plate is different from the Veterans plate.
The Support our Troops plate can be ordered by anyone who wants to show support for current and former members of the Canadian Armed Forces.
The Veterans plate is different because it is only issued to eligible members of the military who meet the Veterans plate requirements.
The Support our Troops plate does not replace the Veterans plate, and a Veterans plate cannot be exchanged for a Support our Troops plate.
If you are unsure which plate applies to your situation, Accu-Search can help you understand the difference before you proceed.
The Support our Troops Licence Plate has a design connected to Canadian military service and remembrance.
The design features artwork created in honour of the first four Alberta-based Canadian soldiers who lost their lives in Afghanistan in April 2002.
This gives the plate a different purpose from a standard plate or sports specialty plate. It is designed to show public support and recognition for Canadian Armed Forces members and their families.
The Support our Troops Licence Plate is a paid Alberta registry product.
Alberta eServices currently lists the Support our Troops Licence Plate at $90.00 per plate, inclusive of service charge. Standard vehicle registration fees, licence plate exchange fees, or other registry fees may apply when the plate is registered to a vehicle.
After the order is processed, the plate is mailed directly from the manufacturer. Delivery timing may vary.
Accu-Search can help confirm the current fee, ordering process, and registration step before you proceed.
Receiving the Support Our Troops plate does not mean it can be used immediately.
The plate must be registered to an eligible Alberta vehicle before it is attached and used.
Registration can be completed at the time of vehicle registration renewal or before your next renewal. If you register the plate before renewal, standard registration and licence plate exchange fees may apply.
The plate can only be registered in the same name it was ordered in. If the vehicle registration name does not match the plate order name, the registration step may need to be reviewed by a registry agent first.
A Support our Troops Licence Plate is a specialty plate, not a personalized plate.
The plate comes with the approved Support our Troops design, and the letter and number combination is assigned in sequence. You cannot choose custom characters for this plate.
A personalized plate is different because it allows you to request a custom letter and number combination, subject to Alberta registry rules and approval.
If your priority is supporting the Canadian Armed Forces through an approved specialty plate design, the Support our Troops plate is the right option. If your priority is custom characters, you may need a personalized plate service instead.
Start by confirming that you want the Support our Troops Licence Plate and that it matches the type of vehicle you plan to use it on.
