Requesting a Copy of Your DD214 from the National Archives Website



Fellow Veteran,


At WSDV, we are committed to supporting veterans like you in accessing the benefits and resources you deserve. One essential document for accessing veteran benefits is your DD214, which contains important information about your military service. If you need a copy of your DD214, you can request it directly from the National Archives website, and I'm here to guide you through the process.


Here are the steps to request your DD214:


1. Visit the National Archives Website:

Go to the National Archives website at the National Archives


2. Select "Veterans Service Records":

On the homepage, navigate to the section for "Veterans Service Records." You can typically find this under "Research Our Records" or a similar tab.


3. Choose "Request Military Service Records":

Click on the option to "Request Military Service Records" or something similar.


4. Create an Account or Log In:

You may need to create an account or log in if you already have one. You can follow the on-screen instructions to provide the necessary information.


5. Complete the Online Form:

You will be prompted to fill out an online request form. Please provide as much detail as possible about your service, including your full name, service number, dates of service, and any other relevant information.


6. Submit Your Request:

After you complete the form, please review the information for accuracy and submit your request.


7. Wait for Confirmation:

The National Archives will process your request, and you will receive confirmation via email or mail.


8. Receive Your DD214:

Once your request is processed, you will receive a copy of your DD214 in the format you requested (e.g., paper or digital copy).


Just so you know, the processing time for requests can vary, so planning is essential if you need your DD214 for specific purposes. If you encounter any issues during the process or have questions, please contact the National Archives for help.


If you have any challenges or have additional questions about this process, please do not hesitate to contact the National Archives at 1-866-272-6272.


Thank you for your service, and we are here to support you in any way we can.
