Its official, DD-214's are NOW Online.
The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the following website
for veterans to gain access to their DD-214's 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 centers mailroom and processing time.
