The military vehicle registration number must be stenciled on the military vehicle in white or yellow letters and numbers in accordance with applicable military regulations. A military vehicle must be originally manufactured for military use, at least 25 years old, and be privately owned. A Certificate of Registration with the military registration number indicated is issued and must be carried in the vehicle at all times.
