NH Masonic Decal License Plate Guidelines
The Plate
The State of New Hampshire has allowed the Grand Lodge of NH Free & Accepted Masons to obtain specialty Decal License Plates to display the Masonic Square & Compasses on the plate. This is a special plate very much like a Vanity Plate in New Hampshire. In order to obtain this Decal License Plate you would have to return any License Plates you now have on the vehicle back to the State. This new Decal Plate would become the Vehicle’s primary License Plate.
