Massachusetts Drivers License - Veteran Status

All Massachusetts residents who are veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces and were honorably discharged can choose to have a Veteran's Indicator on their Driver's License, Learner's Permit, Massachusetts ID card, or Liquor ID card. If they choose this, the word "Veteran" will be printed on the lower right corner of their license or ID card, or in the bottom center of their learner's permit. There is no additional fee for the Veteran's Indicator, but all regular transaction fees will apply.

You must present 1 of the following documents (typed, not handwritten) as proof of honorable discharge:

• A DD-214 that indicates honorable discharge
• A DD-215 that indicates honorable discharge
• An Honorable Discharge form
