Guidance

Champion the digital Veteran Card in your organisation

Find out how your organisation can support, promote and proudly recognise the new digital Veteran Card.

Why the digital Veteran Card matters

The digital Veteran Card marks a significant step forward in how the UK supports its veteran community. It’s the first government-issued digital credential of its kind, offering veterans a faster, easier way to access the services, support and discounts they’ve earned, straight from their smartphone.

Working alongside the physical card, the digital version gives veterans greater flexibility, choice and convenience in how they engage with organisations like yours.

By recognising the card, your organisation becomes part of a growing network that’s actively showing gratitude to those who’ve served.

When your organisation accepts and promotes the digital Veteran Card, you’re doing more than verifying status — you’re sending a powerful message of respect, inclusion and appreciation.

Whether you offer services, discounts or simply want to stand with the armed forces community, your support helps make the card a success.
