A person who is a member of the Shriners, or who lives in Missouri and has a qualifying vehicle, can get a special license plate with the Shrine symbol on it. To get one, the person pays $25 a year to their Shrine temple and gets a permission statement from the temple. Then the person pays an extra $15 to the state when registering their vehicle, and the state puts the Shrine symbol on the license plate. Most of the $25 goes to Shriners Hospitals for kids. If the person does not bring the permission statement when renewing their registration, they get a regular plate without the symbol.
