    • Military Frequently Asked Questions

Are you a member of the Armed Forces? If so, DMV's Military Guide tells you what you need to know about licensing and vehicle registration requirements in Virginia. If you have a military operator's permit and drive heavy vehicles, our Troops to TrucksSM program makes it easier for you to obtain a Virginia commercial driver's license (CDL).

Veterans may qualify for the Veteran Indicator, which provides discounts at retail locations and restaurants around Virginia.
