Immediate family members of a service member who died while serving on active duty can get Idaho Gold Star Family license plates, up to two sets per family. The plates are free for the surviving spouse and the parents; other family members pay the initial and renewal fees. Immediate family means a surviving spouse, parent, stepparent or legal guardian, child or stepchild, sibling, half sibling or stepsibling, and grandparent.
First send the Idaho Division of Veterans Services Gold Star License Plate Verification, with a DD1300 or death certificate and documentation of your family relationship, to IDVS at 351 Collins Road, Boise, ID 83702-4519 or call 208-780-1300. Once IDVS verifies you, submit the Idaho Transportation Department Military Specialty Plates application together with the verification to the Idaho Transportation Department.
A DD1300 report of casualty or the death certificate, official documentation proving your family relationship to the service member, and the completed IDVS Gold Star License Plate Verification.
