✅ Check-In & ID Requirements
- Eligibility is verified at check-in.
- You must present a current (unexpired) physical ID to gain access and use facilities.
Veterans’ Eligibility and Identification
Honorably discharged veterans are now officially eligible to stay at Fort Tuthill. Acceptable proof is limited to:
- A driver’s license with a Veteran designation
- A Veteran Identification Card (VIC)
- A current Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC)
VIC and VHIC are different cards: A Veteran Identification Card (VIC) and a current Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC) are both accepted as proof of veteran eligibility. A VHIC is issued for VA health care purposes and is not the same as a VIC.
Acceptable Forms of ID
1. Common Access Card (CAC)
Issued by the DoD to active-duty personnel, selected reservists, National Guard members, DoD civilians, and eligible contractors.
2. DoD Retiree ID Card
For retired military members with retiree status and a current DoD Retiree ID Card.
3. Driver’s License with a Veteran Designation
Accepted for honorably discharged veterans when the current driver’s license clearly displays a Veteran designation.
4. Veteran Identification Card (VIC)
Accepted for honorably discharged veterans.
5. Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC)
The VHIC is issued for VA health care purposes. A current VHIC is accepted as proof of veteran eligibility.
6. DoD Civilian Retiree ID Card — Current Policy and Access Rules
To access Fort Tuthill facilities, DoD retirees must now provide both of the following to verify eligibility:
Present a REAL ID Act‑compliant driver’s license or state‑issued ID (or other acceptable government‑issued photo ID)
AND
Provide a retirement document — such as a Standard Form‑50 (SF‑50), or other official DoD agency civilian employee retirement document —
Eligibility Summary
| Category | Required ID |
|---|---|
| Active Duty / Reserve / DoD Civilian / Contractor | Common Access Card (CAC) |

Tips Before You Go
- Bring your current physical ID; digital copies and expired cards are not accepted.
- Veterans with a current driver’s license with a Veteran designation or a Veteran Identification Card (VIC) are now accepted as of July 2026.
- Do not bring DD-214, discharge paperwork or other paperwork as proof of veteran eligibility; these will not be accepted.
- Retired DoD civilians should contact Fort Tuthill before traveling because their eligibility category is separate from veterans’ eligibility.
- A current Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC) is accepted as proof of veteran eligibility.
