PROOF OF IDENTITY IS MANDATORY FOR ALL TYPES OF MILITARY ID CARDS
Two (2) valid, unexpired forms of identification must be presented to receive any ID card if 18 or older. Refer to the DOD List of Acceptable Documents at the bottom of the page. All documents must be originals or they must be official certified copies.

SPONSOR UNWILLING TO SIGN THE DD FORM 1172-2
If the Sponsor is unwilling to sign the DD Form 1172-2 for a dependent, the dependent can come in the ID Card facility and receive a 30 day temporary card which gives us time to mail out the needed forms to contact the Sponsor and for them to respond. After the 30 days is up and the Sponsor has not provided documentation as to why the dependent cannot receive an ID card, the dependent will then receive the normal dependent ID card. Two valid forms of unexpired ID are required for all dependents 18 and older. This DOES NOT apply to full time students ages 21-23. Note: Need the Sponsor's SSN or DOD ID number to start the process.
