MVD participates in the annual Maricopa County Stand Down event for veterans

More than a dozen employees representing five MVD offices as well as technical support teams attended the recent two-day 2024 Maricopa County Stand Down event. Each employee provided identification assistance at the Arizona State Fairgrounds or many veterans in Arizona experiencing housing instability. 

Over the two days, the MVD team helped nearly 350 people with services including driver license duplicates, motor vehicle records, renewals and reinstatements.

Most people do not think about their driver license or ID card once it is in their wallet, but having a valid form of identification is crucial to verify identification when applying for jobs, services, rent or assistance. Veterans, and others, dealing with instability or homelessness need an ID card to receive services that can be extremely impactful towards a more stable housing opportunity. 

This yearly event, hosted by the Arizona Veterans StandDown Alliance, provides thousands of Arizona veterans with access to resources that improve their lives and help them achieve stability.

More information about these events is available at the Arizona Housing Coalition website.
