ID Cards & DEERS

ANNOUNCEMENT: No Termination Date Set for Legacy Retiree ID Cards

The Department of Defense (DoD) has not set a termination date for legacy paper-based Uniformed Services ID (USID) cards with "INDEF" (indefinite) expiration dates. Despite earlier reports, including a now-corrected DFAS newsletter citing a December 31, 2025 deadline, no such cutoff currently exists.

Military retirees and beneficiaries are strongly encouraged to update to the Next Generation USID card—a more secure, plastic-based version—at their convenience.
