Your DD214 is NOT a “public record,” and therefore it is NOT available through any public records search, service or database. Your DD214 is a private record, protected by the Privacy Act. As such, the facility which holds your record will REQUIRE your written authorization before releasing this document. Unfortunately, the online “public” records search database services fail to make this fact clear, and you’ll pay them for a service which cannot access or acquire your DD214 for you. But, once we have your signed Request Form and retrieve your record, we’ll make your record available to you for download from our secure server – and ship you two certified hardcopies as well.
