Once receiving proper documentation from the Office of Veterans Affairs, Veterans are to call the Bureau of Motor Vehicles in their island district to schedule an appointment before appearing in person.

Like many other states, our Veterans will now be able to enter stores offering discounts for Veterans and take advantage of that opportunity. This also applies to stores on the mainland offering this benefit. “With this going into effect on February 13th, the Office of Veterans Affairs will soon after initiate a campaign across the territory encouraging more businesses to start a Veterans Discount Program. There are very limited businesses that offer such programs in the Virgin Islands”, said Director Farrell.
