Dear C&E Family,
Below is information from VAC regarding the Veteran’s Service Card. For those interested please follow the directions included in the information below.
The Veteran’s Service Card is now available upon request to all eligible former and releasing Canadian Armed Forces members. Veterans who have completed basic training and have been honourably released can now apply for the new Veteran’s Service Card at the following website.
The Veteran’s Service Card provides a tangible symbol of recognition for former members, and encourages an enduring affiliation with the Canadian Armed Forces. It has no expiry date and it is not intended for use as an ID card, pursuant to Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat and other guidelines on official identification cards.
All serving Canadian Armed Forces members and Veterans are encouraged to register for a MY VAC Account with Veterans Affairs Canada.
For more information on the Veteran’s Service Card, or to apply, visit Canada.ca – Veteran Service Card
I had previously sent all the documentation required to obtain an ex-service i.d. card back in November-2019. I do realize Covid-19 would be having an impact on processing but 8 months?? As a sidenote the docs were sent by registered mail. Thanking you in advance for any further assistance that you can render in this matter.
Regards,
Edward G.Stansfield
