MEMORANDUM
FOR: Department Service Commission
FROM: Bob Bent, Commissioner, Department Service Commission (DSC)
SUBJECT: On-Line Access to DD-214 Military Records
The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the following
website for veterans to access their DD-214 online: http://vetrecs.archives.gov/.
This may be particularly helpful when a veteran needs a copy of his
DD-214
for employment purposes. NPRC is working to make it easier for veterans
with computers and Internet access to obtain copies of documents from
their military files.
Military veterans and the next of kin of deceased former military
members
may now use a new online military personnel records system to
request documents. Other individuals with a need for documents must
still complete the Standard Form 180 which can be downloaded from the
online web site.
Because the requester will be asked to supply all information essential
for NPRC to process the request, delays that normally occur when NPRC
has to ask veterans for additional information will be minimized.
The new web-based application was designed to provide better service on
these requests by eliminating the records center's mailroom
processing time.
Please pass this information on to former military personnel you may know
and their dependents.
