Minnesota Veteran Photo ID: Application & Benefits

Veterans Affairs, or VA, is a program available to veterans throughout the United States. Enrolling in this program will give you access to discounts that veterans receive at local businesses, as well as health care benefits through the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. Once you apply for the VA program and are approved, you can receive your veteran's photo ID.
