GAIN ACCESS TO DD-214s ONLINE

The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the following
website for veterans to gain access to their DD-214s 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.
