Jefferson City DEERS / IDs Office

02/14/2026

Been thinking, I will start to monitor this page as best I can. Before today we just had the automatic reply set and didn't check the page often. The ID office is much like working at the DMV, very busy, many many phone calls all day long, and paperwork is key to getting you ID issued. So here I am, ask your questions. I ran the DEERS office at State HQ for over 8 years, I retired last year so I cannot schedule appointments, but I can answer most questions, or get you to someone who can get you the correct answer. Let's do this!

Common question I have seen on this page...
Dependent ID is expired or expiring soon, time frame to get it re-newed?
Details matter here: Turning 60, turning 65, child turning 21,23 or 26.
Those are the times you need to get it as close to that date, but you can give or take a few weeks(ish). Those times are due to TRICARE changes.
Any other dependent ID card just expiring, no more than 30 days prior to the expiration date or anytime after the exp date.

No one is watching this page everyday. I made the page to be able to give out phone numbers for all of our Missouri DEERS Sites. 573.638.9500 is the main MOGUARD phone number, each site has their own extention or a separate number. I have listed those in a post below today.

Yes we are aware of sites in St Louis and now Cape G being tough to get appointments.
Jefferson Barracks in St Louis makes their appointments online only 30 days in advance. When the appointments are opened they usually fill up in less than a week. No walk-ins at this site.
Cape Girardeau site is having staffing issues, bare with us as we get this site sorted out.

ID Card Office Online Website https://idco.dmdc.osd.mil/idco/ is where ID Offices can be located by zip codes, sign the DD 1172-2, and online appointment can be made at certain sites.

I understand there are issues with getting thru on our phone lines, we've had issues across the state. I am sorry for any confusion, but there isn't anything we can do about that. Please try again later.
