                                      VETERAN'S IDENTIFICATION CARDS
Paterson, NJ - The Passaic County Clerk's Office & Department of Veterans' Affairs are pleased to announce that starting in July Identification Cards for Veterans of all branches of the US Armed Forces will be available.  The Clerk's Office and Veterans' Affairs have partnered to provide Passaic County Veterans with a free Photo ID Card.  These cards identify veterans who served in our armed forces, and received an honorable discharge following their military service.  These cards give veterans the ability to receive discounts or benefits offered by stores and restaurants.  Many establishments offer 10% or more in discounts to our vets, who have had to carry their DD-214 discharge document to prove their military status. 

In order to obtain an identification card, a Veteran will need to present a copy of their DD-214 Military Discharge Record along with proof of identity & domicile in Passaic County.  They can also register their DD-214 discharge papers with the Passaic County Clerk's Office.  Registering this form affords the veteran the secruity of knowing that his/her records are permanently recorded.

Please click above to view the attached schedule that provides all information regarding the dates and locations where the ID Program will be available.  There is no fee for the ID cards and you can contract the Passaic County Clerk's Office at (973)513-9900 or Tom Miller, Department of Veterans' Affairs Officer at (973)569-4090 for further information.
