FYI: Only Active an full retiree's duty have ID cards. All other service members loose their ID cards when they get out. They only have a DD214 to prove their service afterwards.

Unless it has changed in the last couple years, nobody should send in copies as Military ID's have the Service Members Social Security number listed on the ID's.

Just wanted to say thank you to 3SX for this. It's very considerate. But some might not be comfortable copying their ID's(if they still have them - if you take terminal leave you sometimes don'd need to hand in your ID) as it violates federal law. For those no longer in, blacked-out DD214's might be a better option.

Recent incidents have been reported regarding the photocopying of military identification cards and common access cards by commercial establishments to verify military affiliation to provide government rates for services. The photocopying of U.S. Government identification cards is a violation of Title 18, U.S. Code Part I, Chapter 33, Section 701 and punishable by fine and imprisonment.

"This prohibition, however, does not apply to government agencies," said Robert Krauer, director of Aberdeen Proving Ground Emergency Services. "Police can make copies for official purposes."

Although asking for military/government identification is totally permissible by commercial establishments, many government personnel are unaware of the prohibition on duplication of government identification.

There are no safeguards in place to insure a government identification card won't be counterfeited or "cloned" based on a photocopy by a commercial establishment. Criminal elements and terrorist organizations place U.S. Government identification as a high value logistical element when planning acts against the U.S. military.

It's recommended that military and Department of Defense travelers provide a state drivers license or other form of photo identification to be photocopied if an establishment insists on a photocopy of the traveler's identification.
