How Do I Get a Veterans Identification Card? 

Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC)

When you are enrolled in VA health care, you obtain a Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC) which you use to check in to your appointments at VA medical centers. You may also use this card to get discounts offered to Veterans at many stores, businesses and restaurants. 

If not already enrolled, see the question above under “Am I able to receive healthcare at a VA clinic or hospital. How can I enroll to receive care?”
