Wanted to share my experience on getting my dependent parent the USID. I tired to research this online before making the appointment and couldn’t find any clear info. Hope this could help someone in the same situation.
I made two appointments at the DEERs office on base near me. One for me to get my DAV ID and the other one is to sponsor the dependent ID. (I called the office before hand to get information on the required documents for the dependent parent and was told over the phone that the dependent parent of 100% DAV can’t get an ID. If you called the DEERs and got that answer, please don’t be discouraged. It could just be that person doesn’t know what they are talking about.)
You need to bring two forms of your parent’s ID + the parent’s social security card. DEERs asked for a VA letter that states the parent is your dependent through VA. I can’t find anything on the VA portal. The VA office on base near the DEER’s office is able to create a letter for me. And your birth certificate.
The ID for parent need to be renewed every 4 years.
You don’t need to fill out any forms before hand. Don’t use the commissary letter to show you are 100%. They need the benefit summary letter.
