Bolinsky: New Initiative for Military Licenses

This article was archived from the previous WordPress site. Formatting and media should be close, but may not match the original post perfectly.

I’m pleased to announce a new initiative for military licenses being put forth by the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Department of Veteran’s Affairs.

Veterans will now have the option to indicate they served their country with an American Flag symbol on a state issued license or identity card to designate his or her veteran’s status. This will make it more convenient for military personnel to obtain special services and discounts being offered by businesses.

In order to obtain a veterans’ ID, veterans must submit to the state Department of Veterans’ Affairs a completed application and proof of honorable discharge, such as a DD-214, at least 30 days prior to visiting a DMV or AAA office. The application can be downloaded online by clicking the “Application for Veteran’s Flag” link on the DVA’s website at www.ct.gov/ctva. The flag symbol will be added to veteran’s license or ID card at no additional cost at renewal time or when it is first issued. Veterans can also request a flag symbol by mailing an application and additional documentation to the state Department of Veterans’ Affairs at:

CT Department of Veterans’ Affairs
Attn: Veteran’s Flag on Driver License or ID Card
287 West Street
Rocky Hill, CT 06067
