HM Armed Forces Veteran Cards will officially launch in the New Year following a successful assessment from the Central Digital and Data Office
The Ministry of Defence and Office for Veterans鈥� Affairs are jointly delivering this commitment as part of ongoing improvements to veterans support.
The Ministry of Defence has been working closely with the Office for Veterans鈥� Affairs and Government Digital Services to develop a new digital service to enable veterans who left the Armed Forces prior to December 2018 to verify their veteran status and receive a Veteran Card in the post.聽
Veteran Cards have two primary functions: to ensure that veterans can quickly verify their status to access public and charitable sector support if they need it and to provide a recognition of service in the Armed Forces.
The service will officially launch by the end of January 2024 following a successful assessment from the Central Digital and Data Office, with updates on this to follow.聽
Further details of the application process will be available soon.
