I do not carry my DD-214 with me. It is to valuable. Here, you can get your drivers licence annotated with your veteran status and that works for most needs. The DD-214 spends most of its time in a safe. I highly encourage any vets to check if their state supports a state issued ID that supports the annotation.

What,exactly,is a DD-214?

Yes, my state (PA) does it now as well. However, it’s kind of bogus. This last time I renewed I renewed online. As I was going through it, it asked a question, are you a veteran and do you want this on your license. I said yes and got it, but anybody can get it from what I see. I didn’t have to provide any documentation to get it. Perhaps if you’re caught you could get penalized for lying on a public document but who’s going to catch you?

I would advise anyone to take their DD 214s to their county seat and have their documents recorded. I have had to get certified copies a couple of times.
