The Morris County Clerk’s Office will be hosting a Senior & Veteran’s ID Card outreach event at the Mine Hill Community Center located at 12 Baker Street, Mine Hill, NJ from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Wednesday, June 18th.

There is a special discounted fee of $5 for Senior ID Cards during outreach events. Veteran’s ID Cards are FREE.

Walk-ins are welcome. The event is open to the public.

The Clerk’s Office provides Morris County Identification Cards for Gold Star family members, veterans and senior citizens. They are perfect for those who may not have a driver’s license or just want an additional form of photo identification. Veteran’s ID Cards and Gold Star ID Cards can also be used to enjoy discounts at many participating Morris County businesses.

These cards are used for identification purposes only and may not be accepted by certain agencies that require a state ID such as a New Jersey Driver License or Non-Driver Identification Card.

The Gold Star ID Card program has been expanded to include spouses, domestic partners, partners in civil unions, parents, legal guardians, and children of members of the United States Armed Forces who died while on active duty.

To obtain a Morris County Gold Star ID Card, you must provide the following:

• One form of identification proving Morris County residency

PLUS

• Original or certified copy of the DD Form 1300, Report of Casualty
• Documentation indicating the applicant’s relationship to the service member, such as Birth Certificate

OR

• Certification from an organization formed for the support of family of members of the Armed Forces who lost their lives while on active duty for the United States that states that the applicant is either the spouse, domestic partner, partner in a civil union, parent, legal guardian, or child of a member of the Armed Forces who died while on active duty for the United States.

This service is free of charge for all Morris County Gold Star families in appreciation of their family member’s service in protecting our citizens and our country.
