and are issued in pairs.
Vehicle owners who have equipment on the rear of
the vehicle for carrying a wheelchair or personal assistive device are
authorized to be issued two plates since the assistive device and carrier may
block visibility of the vehicle mounted plate.
While these plates have their own unique number series
and are issued in pairs, the plates have the DV prefix flat screened as well
as PENNSYLVANIA in dark blue on top and DISABLED VETERAN in red on bottom.

Veteran, Severe Disability

The plate to the right is a bit of a mystery.
The plate is obviously old, yet the number series is way too high for
Disabled Veteran. My first guess is that it is an early issue of
Severely Disabled Veteran.
The plate to the right is another example of the
plate above. While this one is not current it is a better image and
offers some indication of vintage. |
