One of the best ways to show you're a veteran upon request is on your Wisconsin Driver's License. In Wisconsin, veterans can request that their veteran status be included on their driver's license when renewing or applying for a new license with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
To get the veteran identifier on your WI driver's license or ID card:
⭐Verify your eligibility with the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs by contacting the Veterans Benefits Resource Center at: 1-800-WIS-VETS (800-947-8387) or at MyWisVets.com
OR --> Contact your local County or Tribal Veterans Service Officer to obtain certification of your veteran status for the identifier. Find your CVSO or TVSO here: https://dva.wi.gov/resources/find-my-cvso-tvso/
⭐Once you've established eligibility, then apply at the Wisconsin DMV. If renewing or getting your first driver's license or ID card, you'll need to visit your local DMV location. If it's not time to renew, you can get a duplicate product online.

The veteran identifier on your license allows veterans to more easily show their veteran status to organizations and businesses that offer unique benefits or discounts for goods and services for veterans. This is just one of the many benefits available to our state's veterans!
