    Where do veterans get military ID cards from? 
  • Where do veterans get military ID cards from? 
    From gov.uk

    "Update 11 March 2021

    The Veterans’ recognition scheme has a 2 phase rollout. Phase 1 is complete; with Service leavers receiving a recognition card as part of the discharge process.

    Phase 2 is to extend the scheme to existing veterans so that they can more quickly, easily and securely prove they served in the UK Armed Forces so they can access the services they need.

    We had hoped to have this in place by the end of 2019, but due to the requirement to future-proof the scheme so that veterans can access a wider range of benefits, the need to safeguard against fraudulent use means, this process will take longer.

    Information on how to apply will be released closer to the launch date."

    So if you don't have one from a recent discharge you have to wait until the government sorts out how it'll work.

    I know that. That is why I questioned it.. So only veterans who have left in the last 2 years can avail themselves of this.
