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