What if my sponsor can't come to my appointment?
No problem! We have two options available for your convenience.
Option 1: Have your sponsor come into our office up to 90 days before your appointment and fill out a DD 1172-2.
Option 2: Have a valid Special Power of Attorney from your sponsor for DEERS/ID card privileges. For more information about how you can obtain a POA you can visit Legal Assistance Page.
Either of these options will allow you to complete your DEERS transactions or have an ID card issued without your sponsor being present!
What if my documents aren't in English?
In order for a foreign document to used by DEERS, the document must be authenticated through a US Embassy with an Apostille or Certified Legislation signed by a US Consular.
Also, all documents must be translated to English.
Apostille:
The Apostille is a specialized certificate that is attached to your foreign document that shows it's legitimate.
Legalisation: Legalisation makes your foreign document suitable for use in the US. the US Consular from the Embassy from the country of Issuance has this power. For example, if your birth certificate is from a country not in the Apostille Convention, such as Jamaica, you'll need to get your document Legalized.
