Important information to Share for Retirees, Spouses, and Dependents regarding

Military ID cards by December 31, 2025.


Military retirees are required to update their Uniformed Services Identification (USID) cards to the new Next Generation USID card by December 31, 2025. The paper-

based USID cards with indefinite expiration dates will no longer be accepted after this

date. The new cards are more secure and durable, incorporating features like plastic

cardstock and enhanced security measures. According to the DoD Common Access Card website, USID cards are issued to retired military and Reserve members, dependent family members of uniformed Service members, and other eligible individuals in accordance with DoD policy.


It's important for military retirees/dependents/surviving spouses to know these old forms

of ID will not be valid to access a military installation, and you will need issuance of the

NextGen ID card. This will be true even if your old ID card has an INDEF expiration date

on it - the ID will still be invalid. The deadline is 31 December 2025.


Based on this, we strongly encourage everyone with an old-style ID card to get a

NextGen ID card now!


There are several ways to make an appointment to get a new ID card. (1). You can visit
