DD-214, Report of Separation, now available through on-line website.
Great news for veterans - The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the following website for veterans to gain access to their DD-214
online: http://vetrecs.archives.gov/
This will cut the waiting time veterans have had in the past waiting for copies of their DD 214's and will be particularly helpful when they need a copy of their DD-214 (Member Copy-4) 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.
You still have to print and sign a form, but it’s much easier than dealing with the “snail-mail.”
