This document describes the integration design between Vets.gov and the Veteran ID Card (VIC) service, for the purposes of allowing verified veterans to obtain a physical ID card.
Vets.gov will provide an entry point for the ID card workflow; when a verified veteran starts the workflow, Vets.gov will gather the required data attributes about that veteran and send a signed request to VIC.
VIC will accept the request from Vets.gov as a trusted source for veteran status and other identifiers. VIC will then provide a web interface allowing users to upload a photo, provide some additional data, and correct some of the data provided by Vets.gov/VA that is known to be unreliable (specifically address data).
VIC will then integrate with a third-party (currently Office Depot) to manage the actual printing and delivery of the physical ID card.
