The Veterans Identification Card Act 2015 was enacted on July 20, 2015. A Veteran ID Card (VIC) is a form of photo ID you can use to get discounts offered to veterans at many restaurants, hotels, stores, and other businesses. It does not replace your veteran health identification card or your Department of Defense ID card. Veterans interested in receiving a VIC may apply online at ( https://www.va.gov/records/get-veteran-id-cards/vic /) or speak to a representative at a VA medical center or community-based outpatient clinic (CBOC).
