Veterans in Guam are eligible for the same federal VA benefits as vets living in the states. However, each territory also offers some of its own unique benefits for veterans who are considered disabled by the VA. We share some of these Guam VA benefits below.
Don’t fight the VA alone
In this article about Guam VA benefits:
Veteran property tax benefits in Guam
Eligible disabled veterans, surviving spouses, Gold Star Parents, and legal guardians of veterans may be exempt from Guam property taxes.
Veterans must have a 100% VA rating or receive TDIU benefits to be eligible for this exemption.
Guam veteran vehicle registration benefits
Honorably discharged veterans who are residents of Guam can receive a veteran designation on their driver’s license or ID card.
Driver’s license fees may also be waived for honorably discharged veterans, as well as their eligible family members. Veterans with a 100% VA disability rating or who receive TDIU may also be exempt from paying registration fees.
VA facilities in Guam
We share more about where to find VA facilities in Guam including regional offices, medical facilities, vet centers, and VA cemeteries.
Regional benefit office
Guam does not currently have a full-service VA regional office (VARO). The island does, however, have a VA regional benefit satellite office that offers a few select services for veterans. Below is the VA regional benefit office in Guam.

VA medical facilities
VA medical facilities offer medical information and assistance for veterans. Vets may also receive their compensation and pension (C&P) exam at many of these facilities. The VA uses the information gathered at a C&P exam to determine how severe a veteran’s condition is and whether it is service connected. Below is the VA medical facility in Guam.
