Business Supporting Veterans & Veterans Supporting Businesses:

Many Tehama County businesses offer discounts to Veterans with a valid I.D. card.  The businesses will display a "Veteran Friendly Business" window decal. The VSO office will offer Tehama County Veteran ID Cards Monday through Thursday 9:00 am until 11:00 am on a walk in basis.  We are a small office and if for some reason we cannot issue ID cards on a particular day, we will leave an announcement on our telephone voice answering machine. If you would like the Veteran designation on your California Driver's License, you must schedule an appointment at the Red Bluff office to obtain a Veteran Status Verification Form to bring to the DMV.      Application for Businesses to Offer Discounts to Veterans

Please click on the link on the left called "Veteran Friendly Businesses" for a list of businesses in Tehama County that offer discounts to Veterans.
