Title: New VA Veteran's ID card - Took me about 10 Minutes
Post by: pianoman9701 on March 28, 2018, 11:24:26 AM: You'll need a picture of a valid government issued ID and a picture of you with a white background. You'll get a VA ID card that will show you're a veteran.

Post by: Ridgeratt on May 01, 2018, 07:50:45 AM: It took about a half hour to get past the paper work. When I finished it came up pending. Called and they informed me that with the huge amount of apps the system had hit the ground in flames. :chuckle: Said they have the bugs worked out and should be getting cleaned up. I was able to print the card with a Big Ol pending across the front of it. :chuckle:

Their site crashed after the launch so they delayed the applications, mine was submitted and listed as "PENDING" and is still in that status today. I called and they said they are working out the bugs

Post by: Brushbuster on May 01, 2018, 08:47:14 AM: I applied for the VID card in January 2018. They didn't like the pic I sent so I sent in another one but accidently deleted my January appl & redid a new one in March. Still pending. :bash:
