U.S. Army format Dog Tags, modern mil-spec embossed stainless steel.
Use as a replacement or spare for regulation issued set. Soldiers who were issued tags pre-2015 with Social Security numbers can create replacement tags with a DoD number here.
Army format tags are formally issued to personnel of the U.S. Army, Army National Guard, Army Reserve, Department of the Army (DA) civilians overseas, and other authorized civilian personnel.
To assist with making replica regulation Army Dog Tags we have created a template that automatically formats the information to the era-specific layout. Alternatively, if you have the original Dog Tags in-hand it may be easier to just recreate them directly on the Dog Tag Maker page, or just email us us a photo of them and we can do it for you.

What is the Army Dog Tags format?
Our replica Army Dog Tags have Embossed (raised) text on a 2" x 1⅛" dull stainless steel Dog Tag, rolled edge up, hole on left with the suggested regulation format:
- [Last Name], [First Name] [Initial].
- [First Name] [Initial]. (if last name is too long on line 1)
- [DoD ID Number] (or [SS Number] if issued before Dec 2015)
- [Blood Group] [Rh factor]
- [Religion] (or NO PREFERENCE)
The SSN was replaced by DoD ID (10 Digits no hyphens) in accordance with DODI 1000.30 on Aug 12, 2012, formalized by Army Pamphlet 600-8-14 On Nov 30, 2015, and reinforced on July 7, 2017 in a memo by the Department of the Army. Prior to that the US Army switched from using Service Numbers to SSN's in July 1969. If the full name cannot fit on line 1, put the last name on line 1, and the first name and middle initial on line 2, subsequent entries shift down one line each. If a U.S. National, the name should be the same as shown on passport or ID card. Blood type is recorded as A, B, AB, or O, followed by POS or NEG, do not use plus + or - signs. Religion should be spelled out when possible.
The most applicable Army Dog Tags regulations can be found in Department of the Army Pamphlet 600โ8โ14, Army Identification Tags, May 6, 2020
