SPRINGFIELD – If you’re a veteran of or active duty National Guard a new program will let you get a special designation on your driver’s license.
The Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs said make sure you have a few documents in hand before you come to a driver’s license facility to receive an identification of your status on a license.
“They bring it to our offices, one of our veteran’s service offices,” IDVA Spokesman Dave MacDonna said. “We will stamp and certify it and then they can take that paperwork to the Illinois Secretary of State and get the designation on their driver’s license.”
MacDonna said if you’re over 65 the designation on the license is free or if you wait till a new license is issued. Otherwise it will cost you $5 to get a new one to put in your wallet.
