Types of Veteran ID cards
There are many types of identification cards you can use to show you’re a Veteran. You only need to have one of them for this purpose. Learn about the different types of VA ID cards and other Veteran ID options.

Department of Defense Identification Card
A Department of Defense (DoD) Identification Card is used to show your military status and to get access to services at military bases. You may also use this card to get discounts offered to Veterans at many stores, businesses, and restaurants. If you have a DoD Identification Card, you don’t need to request another type of photo ID card to prove you’re a Veteran or to get retail or business discounts.

Veteran Health Identification Card
When you’re enrolled in VA health care, you get a Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC) that you use to check in to your appointments at VA medical centers. You may also use this card to get discounts offered to Veterans at many stores, businesses, and restaurants. If you have a VHIC, you don’t need to request another type of photo ID card to prove you’re a Veteran or to get retail or business discounts.

Veteran ID Card
A Veteran ID Card (VIC) is a digital photo ID you can use to get discounts for Veterans at many stores, businesses, and restaurants. When you have this card, you won’t need to carry around your military discharge papers or share sensitive personal information to get discounts. And you don’t need to request another type of photo ID card to prove you’re a Veteran or to get retail or business discounts.

Veteran’s designation on a state-issued driver’s license or ID
At this time, all 50 states and Puerto Rico offer a Veteran designation (an identifying mark) printed on state-issued driver’s licenses or IDs. The type of Veteran designation may vary from state to state. If you have a Veteran’s designation, you may be able to get discounts offered to Veterans at many stores, businesses, and restaurants.

Good morning Jason. Thanks for sharing. This is a PSA for all Vets to go out in nature. Remember you can access all National Parks using your VA ID card for access for free. This is a wonderful free benefit.

[barbarafowler]

Good morning Thank you for all you do to get information out to everyone.

[borowland]

I have never had any problems using my VHIC card to get on any base.

[VASucksD]

Jason was our cola supposed to be reflected on the check we got today? I didn’t see a change

[HurleyBrley]

What about the Real ID’s that will be required for entrance to government and federal buildings and transportation tickets.

[markwigstone]

There is a renewal date on VA Healthcare cards

[davidwilliams]

Can you talk about what's in Project about the VA.

[standelasanantone]

Have had “issues” while attempting to use my VHIC for base entry. Apparently the VHIC is not loaded into IACS(?) and requesting it be loaded seems to take an act of Congress (hyperbole, of course). Also, the VHIC definitely doesn’t seem to mean much OCONUS… I have even been told by gate security that the VHIC is being phased out on 31 DEC.

Where do we, my wife and I, go to get a DoD ID as I am rated at 100% P&T.

[robertortiz]

Is there a special ID card for TDIU / P&T?

[masterroshi]

Coast Guard retirees had 16, 000 people dropped off of Tri-Care. You might want to check TRICARE and make sure you’re still in DEERS They said that they’re fixing the problem, but if you do not sign back up for Tri-Care, that you will not have it for the rest of the year. You will also not be in DEERS.

[StanleyJenczyk]

Is there a special ID for veterans who have 100% disability rating?

[dennisgoss]

I am a 100 percent not P&T and they denied me. They said it has to be 100 percent P&T

[amadordhinojosa]

What color of Dependent I.D Card should my wife's card be if I am P and T and will she be able to go on Space-A flights with me besides Commissary and Exchange privileges and will she be allowed to go on any military base

[RichardMctere]

In my opinion why all this extra crap. All Veterans who served honorably should all be eligible for the same ID card, why put us in different categories a Veteran is a Veteran .The only difference should be between Honorably and Dishonorably .

[carlosjaramillo]

I was just on step 6 of my claim and for the second time it has kicked me back to step 3. Any tips will help.

[StanleyJenczyk]
