Hello there. Can you please tell what types of Veteran ID cards exist?
Of course. 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. Here you can learn about the different types of VA ID cards and other Veteran ID options.
================
What if I already have a Department of Defense ID?
In that case 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.
================
Too bad I don't have my ID anymore. What requirements do I need to meet for the Veteran ID?
Have you served on active duty, in the Reserves, or in the National Guard including the Coast Guard?
Yes.
Have you received an honorable or general discharge under honorable conditions?
No, unfortunately I haven't. There was an accident I got caught up in.
In that case, I'm afraid you aren't eligible. Sorry.
Oh, I already figured that. Am I missing out an any other advantages besides the discounts with the ID card?
Yes, if you have the ID card you won't need to carry around your military discharge papers or share sensitive personal information to receive discounts.
