📝 How Gold Star Families Can Apply

While requirements vary by state, most require:

  1. Proof of relationship (birth certificate, marriage license)
  2. Official documentation of the service member’s death in the line of duty (e.g., DD-1300)
  3. Application through the state DMV or motor vehicle agency

Many states partner with organizations like the American Gold Star Mothers, Inc. to assist families through the process.
