Obtaining Military IDs

The following guidelines are offered to ensure that your identification card can be issued quickly:

  • The sponsor has to be with the dependents in order for identification cards to be issued. The only exception is that the dependents have a POA or a DD 1172 filled out and signed by the sponsor in block 90 and Section IV filled out by either a Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System card issuing facility and/or the unit full-timer.
  • Each person must have two forms of identification (one identification must have a picture). For the primary - acceptable forms of identification are military identification, driver's license, college identification, and passport. For the secondary - acceptable forms of identification are social security card and/or birth certificate or other state-issued identification.
