You used to be able to get a copy on-line for via mail.now you have to be there in person, or have your local magistrate do up a request for you.I think they are catching up slowly with ID theft, just has taken way too long. I found out 4 years ago when I had to get my homeland security clearance renewed for hazmat endorsement on my CDL, my county of birth is also doing this back in California. Not sure if other places do that, but I am sure that more and more are considering it now with the issues you all have discussed. If you are not that person and do not have a court order you can only get a copy that has everything sensitive (ssn, dob, etc) blacked out on it. They do not provide personal records like this for on-line retrieval in my county, you must do it in person, with valid ID to get the copy. Did not get a new ID card, they just wanted to see my DD214 I guess, after that they said everything was good and cut me loose.Ĭheck with your clerk of courts, if you are not the person named in the document in my county, you can not get a copy that has the personally identifying info on it. The first thing the clerk did was hold it up to the light and then feel for the seal impression. I am guessing there is something going on with fake DD214's floating around perhaps, I just had to go to the VA about 2 weeks ago and 'update' my VA ID card, they told me to be sure to bring my DD214 original, or certified copy. I did not even notice or know to look for that, until my VSO showed it to me. I have noticed that several of my friends here have had to do this in the past two to three years as their copies did not have the seal on them. A friend just had to do that last month and it took about 3 weeks and he had his copy complete with the seal on it now. Louis, MO ever has another fire and loose the originals on file there.Īnother issue may be if your DD214 does not have the embossed seal on it, the VSO may be concerned that the VA will not accept it, so if that is the case you may need to get an official copy from St. This way you are also covered if the National Archives in St.
This is a kind of back up for you, just in case at some point the VA looses your DD 214 somehow.(snickering) that could never happen, you can provide them with an endorsed original copy for your file. Now you have a legally enforceable court instrument to use if the original is ever lost.
#Create your own dd214 registration#
By taking it down to your local court house and having it registered, the clerk of courts is now attesting to the fact that he/she made a copy of the original document and they affixed their registration number to the copy at that time. My VSO explained that if you take the original and look at it closely and feel around near the bottom right or left edge of the document, you will see and feel that it has a seal that has been embossed (pressed) in to it. As airborne stated, if you ever loose your certified copy it can pose problems for you if one is needed.
