Hamilton County Recorder Scott Crowley is pleased to offer this service benefiting our United States Military Veterans. This program allows any veteran to obtain a Document Identification Card from our office. This card will display a photograph of the veteran, military service dates, and other pertinent information regarding the veteran’s service to our country. This card contains the veteran’s specific document number, so the discharge record can be rapidly located by this office when needed. There is no cost for the ID Card. Because of your service we are here to serve you!
