Indiana Veteran Designation on Driver Licenses and ID Cards

IC 9-24-11-5.5 puts "an indication of the individual's veteran status" on a driver licence or learner's permit when the applicant asks for it and provides "proof of discharge", and an indication of status as a surviving spouse of a veteran when the applicant shows the marriage at the time of death. IC 9-24-16-2 does the same for an identification card. Who is a veteran here. IC 9-13-2-196.5: an individual who is serving in, or was "under conditions other than dishonorable" discharged or separated from, the armed forces or their reserve components. An other than honorable discharge qualifies. Proof. IC 9-13-2-138.5 accepts a physical document or digital verification of discharge from the armed forces, the reserves or the National Guard issued by VA, the Department of Defense or the National Guard Bureau, which covers a DD-214, an NGB Form 22 and the VA's digital proof. The trade. Every application must ask "Have you served in the armed forces of the United States?" and whether the applicant is a surviving spouse, and IC 9-24-9-2.3(c) makes the Bureau share the answers with the Department of Veterans Affairs "to develop outreach programs for veterans and their families". Answering is optional. Out of state service. Under IC 9-24-12-6 a licence that expires while you are living outside Indiana because of service stays valid for ninety days after discharge or postdeployment. From January 1, 2027 a new version runs the ninety days from the date you are no longer living outside Indiana because of service.
