James, DD-214 is what you need and the front and back copy of your drivers license.

James - The driver license and DD 214 should be sufficient. I got mine with my retired military ID card and my Driver License. Buds is merely wanting to protect their interests with the manufacturers. - they aren't one of those companies out there looking for a reason to say "no". Thanks for your service!

It should work. I sent my credentials in a similar manner for approval.

while the DL may work submitting your DD214 will 100% work you can Contact Buds customer service (859) 368-0371 available 9AM to 9PM CST Monday through Friday or use the blue chat now button and ask if the "veterans" on your DL alone will work.
