W.Va. officials urge veterans to get special licenses
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- State officials are urging veterans to showcase their service to the country on their driver's licenses.
West Virginia began offering a veteran designation on driver's licenses last month.
The West Virginia Department of Veterans Assistance said many businesses offer veteran discounts but many veterans had no way of confirming their service. He said having it on a driver's license is a convenient way to take advantage of those benefits.
To obtain the veteran designation, applicants need to apply at their local Division of Motor Vehicle regional office and bring in their DD 214, other form of military identification or their motor vehicle registration card showing a current military license plate. They'll also need to bring applicable licensing documentation.
There is no charge for the designation.
