Initial issue for dependent ID cards is age 10. If child is under this age with a current ID, the ID may be renewed. Dependents should receive a new ID when the sponsor’s status has changed (i.e.: AD/ANG/AFRES, retirement, Commissioning…etc.). Full-time college students ages 21 to 23 need to have DEERS updated with information from their college of their full-time enrollment (only a DEERS update is required – the ID card can be expired). This requires a letter from the school registrar which lists the projected graduation date and that student is enrolled full-time. Finally, those members age 23 to 26 are eligible to apply for TRICARE young adult (coverage must be paid for prior to generating an ID card). Attention: please download the Pre-Arrival Checklist. Members must also bring 2 forms of valid/unexpired identification. Please download the full list of acceptable documents

Retirees

Sponsor’s (and their dependents) turning age 65, may need MEDICARE updated if the feed from SSA fails. When MEDICARE information is updated in DEERS, TRICARE will accept the claims regardless of the expiration date on the card. TRICARE coverage will remain intact as it is not associated with ID card expiration dates. Attention: please download the Pre-Arrival Checklist. Members must also bring 2 forms of valid/unexpired identification. Please download the full list of acceptable documents.

100% Disabled American Veteran (DAV)

Members must bring in 2 forms of valid/unexpired IDs, DD Form 214, and a letter from the VA stating that they are 100% disabled, with the effective date and if they are temporary or permanently disabled. Attention: please download the Pre-Arrival Checklist. Members must also bring 2 forms of valid/unexpired identification. Please download the full list of acceptable documents.

Schedule a RAPIDS Appointment

The ID Card section is accepting appointments and walk-ins for all services. Our walk-in hours are Monday-Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and on Friday 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. We recommend to schedule a RAPIDS appointment. Our appointment calendar is projected 30-days in advance and is available on the 15th of every month. We cannot guarantee same day appointments/service due to the availability of our DEERS systems and the level of priority of our customers. Closing times listed do not always reflect customers will be accepted up to that time. It may be necessary to cease taking customers earlier in order to prioritize customers already waiting in our lobby by the end of the business day. Attention: please download the Pre-Arrival Checklist. Members must also bring 2 forms of valid/unexpired identification. Please download the full list of acceptable documents.

Note: We are no longer accepting DEERS updates and ID renewal documents via email. Customers must physically bring their documents in person during our business hours. Failure to bring the proper/valid documents at the time of your appointment/walk-in will delay our capability to service you.
