Free Editable Veteran/Military ID Card Templates for MS Word

A veteran is a person who has served honorably in the military and contributed significantly to their country. In many countries, official Veteran ID Cards (such as the VIC in the United States) are issued by government agencies to help veterans access various benefits, such as discounts at restaurants, retail stores, and service providers. These government-issued IDs allow veterans to verify their service without sharing personal or discharge documentation.

How to get a veteran ID Card?

In order to get a veteran ID card, the person is required to visit the website vets.gov. Upon opening the site, the veteran is required to click on the “apply for printed veteran ID Card” icon and then either create an account or sign in if they already have an account.

Delivery of the card?

The veteran should get the card delivered within 60 days of applying for the card. They can also check the delivery status of their card on vets.gov.

Types of Veteran ID Cards

There are three types of veteran ID cards. They are:

• Department of Defense Identification card
• Veteran health identification card
• Veteran’s designation on a state-issued driver’s license or ID.

Department of Defense Identification card

The Department of Defense, or the DOD, is a card used to confirm one’s military status and get admittance to the services of the military base. If you are the holder of this card, you can avail yourself of discounts at various stores, businesses, and restaurants.

Veteran Health Identification Card

When an individual is enrolled in VA health care, they will use their Veteran Health identification card in order to check their appointments with the VA health care.
