DEERS Updates & ID Cards for Active Duty/National Guard/Reserve

The ID Card section is accepting appointments and walk-ins for all services.

Mon–Fri

  • 8–11 AM: Walk-ins
  • 12–3 PM: Appointment Only

We cannot guarantee same day appointments/service due to the availability of our DEERS systems and the level of priority of our customers.

Closing times listed do not always reflect customers will be accepted up to that time. It may be necessary to cease taking customers earlier in order to prioritize customers already waiting in our lobby by the end of the business day.

Attention:

Dependents

Initial issue for dependent ID cards is age 10. If child is under this age with a current ID, the ID may be renewed. Dependents should receive a new ID when the sponsor’s status has changed (i.e.: AD/ANG/AFRES, retirement, Commissioning…etc.). 

Attention: 

  • Download the Pre-Arrival Checklist.
  • Members must also bring 2 forms of valid/unexpired identification.
  • For a full list of acceptable documents click here.
  • If your dependent’s ID card is going to expire, the following options exist for reissuance: sponsor must be present, a signed DD Form 1172 by sponsor and customer service representative or a valid special power of attorney, expired military ID and second form of ID. 
New Dependent Online Renewal Pilot

DMDC is piloting a new service to allow CAC holders to request dependent ID card by mail without visiting an ID card office.  The eligible card recipients will have the ability to request renewal of their USID card online, via ID Card Office Online (IDCO) and have the new card mailed directly to them. After approving online requests from eligible card recipients, DMDC will produce the USID card and mail it to the card recipient.  Please download the Online Renewal Trifold to check eligibility criteria and the online process. 

 

See our Self Service Guide (PDF) for step-by-step instructions on obtaining a new ID without your sponsor present (Form 1172 and two forms of ID required.)

Adding Spouse to DEERS

As soon as the sponsor’s marital status has changed, they are required to bring in their spouse to be added to DEERS to start receiving benefits.

The following documents are required:

  • Certified or original marriage certificate
  • Spouse’s original birth certificate
  • Valid federal or state photo id (i.e. drivers license, state ID or valid passport)
  • Social security card
Adding Newborn to DEERS

  • Hospital proof of birth or birth certificate

  • Acknowledge of paternity or court document providing paternity (this must be from the state where the child is born)
  • Original birth certificate

  • Letter from the College Registrar stating Name of Student
  • Estimated graduation date, and that the student is Full Time
  • Two valid State/Federal forms of ID (one being a photo ID)
  • Sponsor must be present or a Special Power of Attorney must be provided
Retirees

Sponsor’s (and their dependents) turning age 65, may need MEDICARE updated if the feed from SSA fails. When MEDICARE information is updated in DEERS, TRICARE will accept the claims regardless of the expiration date on the card.

TRICARE coverage will remain intact as it is not associated with ID card expiration dates.
