• to those women who of their own right are eligible for membership in The American Legion.
Proof of Eligibility:
• If veteran that you qualify under is still living, he/she must be a member of a American Legion. His/her membership does not have to be at the same location as yours; however you will need to provide his/her American Legion member ID#.
• If a request for Auxiliary membership is based on a deceased veteran who was not a member of The American Legion, the prospective member will be required to provide verifying documentation that proves her eligibility [ex. DD214].
Other Helpful Information:
• A woman veteran may join the American Legion Auxiliary without being a member of The American Legion if her dates of service fall within at least one of the eligible service categories, as described on the ALA membership applications. If, however, her family members wish to join the Auxiliary or the Sons of The American Legion through her service, she must first become a member of The American Legion; The Legion will verify the woman veteran’s eligibility.
• You can change most of your membership information, including your address, at MyLegion.org.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Where can I find my member ID number?
A: Once you join The American Legion, you're assigned a permanent 9-digit Member ID number that will remain yours as long as you're a member. (If you ever transfer to another post, always make sure to provide your original Member ID Number.) You can find the ID number on your membership card, and it's the first 9 digits shown above your name on the American Legion Magazine labels. (It always starts with a 1, 2 or 3.)
If you are unable to locate your membership card please call Customer Service at (800) 433-3318 to obtain your member ID and a replacement card.
