Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what biometric checks are undertaken to ensure people applying for Veterans Railcards are veterans.

The Rail Delivery Group (RDG) is responsible for the application and verification process of the Veterans Railcards. When applying for a Veterans Railcard, applicants must provide RDG with evidence of their eligibility.

A list of accepted documents is available on the Veterans Railcard website: https://www.veterans-railcard.co.uk/are-you-eligible/.
