New York Vendor’s License for Veterans Who Served Overseas

Local New York County Clerk’s Office

Check eligibility

How to apply

Contact your County Clerk’s Office to apply. The licence does not override restrictions set by cities, towns or villages, so check whether an additional no-fee local licence is needed where you intend to trade.

What you'll need

Your discharge paperwork showing overseas service and a discharge other than dishonorable, or, for a surviving spouse, proof of your marriage and the veteran’s death.

Eligibility

  • You served overseas in the U.S. Armed Forces and received a discharge other than dishonorable, or you are the surviving spouse of such a veteran
  • You are applying through the County Clerk in the jurisdiction where you want to trade
