How do I apply for the Veterans Identification Card (VIC)?

How do I apply for the Veterans Identification Card (VIC)?

Veterans must log into VA.gov or AccessVA.gov to apply for a VIC. Veterans may also click the following link to go to sign in page, https://www.va.gov/records/get-veteran-id-cards/apply. 

You do not need to request this card if you have one of these:

  • Veterans Health Identification Card (VHIC), or
  • Department of Defense (DoD) Identification Card (Common Access Card (CAC) or Uniformed Services ID Card, or
  • State-issued ID (Driver's license) with a Veteran designation or a state-issued Veteran ID Card. Check with your state to see if they issue a Veteran ID Card.

You can use any of these cards to get the same discounts. If you already have one of them, you don't need a VIC, but you can still apply for it if you'd like.

If you don't have one of these cards, you should request a Veteran ID Card.
