Disabled veterans and Purple Heart recipients are encouraged to contact the New Jersey Motor Vehicles Commission for information about a new statewide parking program. Under the new program, veterans can obtain a vehicle placard that exempts them from parking fees at any municipal meter in New Jersey. The vehicle must be owned by the veteran, and it can only be used when the veteran is in the car as a driver or passenger.
Residents are reminded that the Union County Clerk’s office provides free veteran’s identification cards and free copies of DD-214 honorable discharge forms, and assists veterans in applying for peddler licenses free of charge.
As an additional service for veterans, the County Clerk website includes an online Veterans Discount Directory of businesses in Union County that offer discounts for veterans.
For full details on veterans services offered by the Union County Clerk, or to list a business in the County Clerk’s Veterans Discount Directory, visit the County Clerk online at ucnj.org/county-clerk or call at 908-527-4787.
More information about veteran’s services and resources in Union County is available through the Union County HERO initiative at ucnj.org/uc-hero.
