THE SCOOP FEBRUARY 2022

Free Veterans License Process Gets Easier!

It's now easier for military and national guard veterans to obtain free services! DDS will now accept the
service member's Armed Forces Separation Papers (DD-214). Previously, the veteran would need a trip
to their local Department of Veterans Services to present their separation papers and obtain a Certificate
of Eligibility (DS516 or DS-318) to bring to DDS for any free licensing service. We still accept the forms
from Veterans Services as well as their DD-214.

We appreciate all the veterans who are continuing their public service with DDS! I'm sure the team
members below already have their free license. How many can you recognize?
