Digital Version of Veteran Card Launched for Quicker and Easier Access to Support
Veterans can now apply for and download a secure digital version of the HM Armed Forces Veteran Card via the GOV.UK One Login app.
- Veterans can now apply for and download a digital version of the Veteran Card on their smartphone.
- From registering with GPs to housing support and discounted entry to museums, the card will ensure veterans can access services quickly and easily online.
- Part of the blueprint for modern digital government, as government makes public services simpler and more accessible, so they work around people’s lives as part of the Plan for Change.
It will give veterans a seamless way to confirm their status in person and will include information already featured on their physical card – displaying their name, photo, latest service, and date of birth with the security features that protect their personal information.
By downloading the optional card on their smartphones, former Service Personnel can show their veteran status to access everything from housing and mental health support to reduced entry at museums and money off their shopping – all at the touch of a button. The move forms part of government plans to deliver national renewal by transforming public services so they work around people’s lives and not the other way round.
Veterans can download it via the GOV.UK One Login app on the link below.
