Veterans can now get driver's license with special designation

Veterans can now get driver's license with special designation

Governor Steve Beshear today announced that military veterans in western Kentucky can now be issued a driver’s license with a new “Veteran” designation.

“As a veteran myself, I know that service in our nation’s military is typically a point of lifelong pride among veterans,” Gov. Beshear said. “And this is one small way in which we can acknowledge the many men and women who have honorably worn the uniform.”

The 2012 General Assembly, through enactment of House Bill 221, authorized a special veteran designation on driver’s licenses. The word “VETERAN” will be printed vertically and in capital letters along the right border of the license holder’s photo. To obtain a license with the designation, a veteran must present a DD214 – the Department of Defense form that verifies service – at the office of the local circuit court clerk, where driver’s licenses are issued.
