The passport shall be issued upon request to a veteran of the Armed Forces of the United States, or a reserve component thereof, including the National Guard with a letter from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, or from the military service that discharged the veteran, certifying that such veteran has a service-connected disability rating of 50 percent or higher. The passport shall be valid for as long as the determination of the 50 percent or higher service-connected disability by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs remains in effect.
