U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) format Dog Tags, modern mil-spec embossed stainless steel.
Use as a replacement or spare for regulation issued set.
Unlike Army tags, only 1st and 2nd initials are used as opposed to the full first name. The branch name 'USMC' is also indicated.
To assist with making replica regulation USMC 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 USMC Dog Tags format?
Our replica USMC 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:
- [Lastname]
- [First Initial].[Middle Initial]. 10[Blood Type] [Rh Factor]
- [DoD ID Number] (or [SS Number] if issued before Dec 2012)
- USMC [Gas Mask Size]
- [Religion] (or NO PREFERENCE)
Subscript numbers ## indicate the field start position.
The SSN was replaced by DoD ID (10 Digits no hyphens) in accordance with DODI 1000.30 on Aug 12, 2012. Prior to that the USMC switched from using Service Numbers to SSN's in Jan 1972.
