Tell me about it! I’m retired military and wife’s and my existing “indefinite” id cards were to expire 12/31. Trying to get new ones was extraordinarily frustrating. Won’t belabor process but trust me it was beyond suck. Couldn’t do online because your photos on file had to be less than 12 years old and you can’t upload new ones. Fortunately, I made a last ditch call to nearest Army id office and actually got the person who does the id’s. Normally, I’d get an apologetic recording telling me to F’ off because there are no appointments. Period. The lady was a bat shit crazy civilian but yet delightful and accomodating and got us in next day at 8 am. Spent an hour in her office talking about every imaginable subject that came to her mind. But in the end we walked out with new id’s. By the way, that was her last day of work before a months long medical leave.
Didn’t think retirees could get them.
We’re about a 90 minute drive south of Nashville. I started looking for an ID card section for my wife about three months ago as hers expires in January, age 65 switches over to Medicare, yadda yadda. There are multiple places that do ID cards for dependents/family members, we have an appointment in 4 weeks for Smyrna, should at best take about an hour twenty to get to. We did this same dick dance at a Naval office outside DC a couple years ago.
to the OP:
Start with any search engine “where to get a replacement military ID card for a family member” or something, search engine AI’s will get you there.
That really annoys me.
Sounds like she is bored silly because nobody is making appointments.
