Get Veteran Designation on Drivers License By Mail

To receive the “VETERAN” designation on your driver’s license/ID card, veterans must obtain official certification from the Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs. You can do so by one of two means.  Visit one of the IDVA offices throughout the state and provide a copy of your DD-214 or Certification of Military Service (NA Form 13038) or complete the process by mail. 


To obtain the certification by mail, veterans must complete a Consent to Release of Information (Click Here for Document) and send it along with their DD-214/NAF 13038 and a legible copy of their driver’s license/ID card to the local veteran service officer.  Requests may also be Faxed to (217) 782-4161 or mailed to the below address:    
                      

                      Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs

                      PO Box 19432 (Attn: DL Cert) 

                      833 S. Spring St     

                      Springfield, IL 62794-9432


The IDVA will certify the discharge document and mail it back to you.  After the necessary certification is obtained from the IDVA, you may apply for a new, renewal or updated driver’s license or ID card at any Secretary of State Driver Service’s facility.


The designation will be no additional cost for first-time driver’s license applicants and driver’s license renewals. If you choose to add the designation before your renewal date, you may obtain an updated driver’s license for $5 and an updated ID card for $10. Veterans over the age of 65 can obtain an updated state ID card at no cost.
