forms of ID. Only one form of ID is required for dependents 17 years and under. 
c) Digitally signed DD Form 1172-2:  From Step 1.
d) If your current dependent ID Card was lost or stolen, please provide a "lost/stolen ID Card" letter signed by your commander, first sergeant, or flight commander and the Law Enforcement Desk.
