- Over 23,000 digital Veteran Cards have been downloaded since their launch in October 2025.
- The digital card allows veterans to access discounts and demonstrate their veteran status for services.
- Veterans must first apply for a physical Veteran Card before they can apply for the digital version via the GOV.UK One Login app.
More than 23,000 digital Veteran Cards have been downloaded since the service launched in October 2025. The digital card provides veterans with a convenient method to carry proof of their service on their phone.
The card can facilitate access to discounts at participating shops, restaurants, and attractions. It also helps veterans demonstrate their status when accessing services such as GP registration and relevant health support.
Stephanie Peacock, Minister for Digital Government, stated that the card is a practical way to recognise veterans throughout the year. Veterans Minister Calvin Bailey MP encouraged veterans to sign up for either the physical or digital card.
To obtain a digital Veteran Card, veterans must first apply for a physical card. Once the physical card application is fully processed and dispatched, the digital version can be applied for and downloaded through the GOV.UK One Login app. The digital version is optional, and veterans can continue to use their physical card if preferred.
Why this matters: The digital Veteran Card offers a practical way for veterans to access discounts and prove their service, potentially simplifying their interactions with various organisations and services.
What this means for you: If you are a veteran, you can apply for a digital Veteran Card through the GOV.UK One Login app after your physical card has been processed, potentially making it easier to access discounts and prove your service.
