The Mahoning County Recorder’s Office is starting a new program Monday that enables U.S. military veterans to obtain a military identification card.

The card displays a picture of the veteran as well as other information about his or her military service, said Noralynn Palermo, recorder.

To receive the ID card, veterans must record their military discharge (DD form 214) with the Mahoning County Recorder’s Office and show either a Social Security card, certified birth certificate, an ID card from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or any other ID card issued by the U.S. government.

No other forms of identification will be accepted, Palermo said.

The fee is $1.

The recorder’s office is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
