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?
That does pose a problem...
Here, you need to present the paper the first time to have your license annotated. After that it is automatic.
Anyway to raise the issue with a government representative like a senator or the governor to have the loophole closed?
