Register Today. Support for a Lifetime.

At Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP), we're committed to helping warriors thrive for a lifetime — whatever that means for them. For some, it could be sleeping better, finding confidence, or building a community. For others, it could be taking the first step to ask for help or being in a place to support others.

That’s why we offer a wide range of programs, services, and resources that work together to help improve well-being, from meaningful connections to mental, physical, and financial wellness.

Registration Process

Explore each step listed below to learn more about the registration process.

Get Verified Instantly!

Most warriors can choose instant verification through their ID.me or Login.gov account. This secure process verifies your eligibility by requesting your service dates, deployment history, and (if you have one) your disability rating directly from the VA.

To qualify for instant verification, you must:

  • Have served on or after September 11, 2001
  • Not have a discharge status of “General Under Other Than Honorable” or “Bad Conduct Discharge”

If you don’t meet the instant verification requirements — or prefer not to use that method — you can upload the documentation manually instead.

Instant verification is a secure way to confirm your eligibility without submitting paperwork through your ID.me or Login.gov account. This process securely confirms details such as your service dates, deployment history, and disability rating (if applicable), so you can complete registration and get connected right away. 

For those registering without instant verification by the VA, please allow 5 to 7 business days for the WWP team to verify eligibility.

Once registered, you’re part of the WWP community for life. We look forward to supporting each step of your journey whenever you’re ready to get started.
