Veterans who live in Florida can add a veteran designation to their driver’s license or identification card.

To add "veteran" to a license or ID card, the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles website says veterans can visit any local service center.

Veterans should be prepared to bring:

  • Their DD-214, which shows their honorable discharge from active duty.
  • Visit the state’s What To Bring page to ensure they have all the other documents required.

Replacement driver licenses are free to veterans only adding the “veteran” designation.

The “V” designation can be used to show proof of status for discounts.

Veterans who need to obtain a copy of their DD-214 may request it through the National Archives.

Go to the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles’ website for more information.
