States consider adding military service to driver's licenses

3/2/2012 12:29 AM

State lawmakers across the U.S. are crafting legislation that would add military service to veterans' driver's licenses so they will not have to carry official discharge papers to prove their service.

It's a shortcut that legislators say could come in handy, from securing state veterans' claims, to simply getting a military discount at a hotel or retailer.

A dozen states passed laws in 2011 adding a veteran designation to driver's licenses, according to Boden: Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and Utah.

States pursuing legislation this year include Arizona, Illinois, New Jersey and South Carolina, Boden said.

Notice that this scoop is not real fresh, so other states might have followed suit by now.

On edit, here's some much better information: Veterans ID on Driver’s License or ID Card by State
