Alternative Resource and Method for Retrieving DD-214 Military Separation Papers
Our investigative resources can (almost always) retrieve these records in a fraction of the
time by personally requesting the records from the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) in St Louis. However, in the event you wish to make your own "Request Pertaining to
Military Records," we have included Standard Form 180 for your convenience. (See above box).
For the personal requests, our cost is $95.00 plus mileage for a standard, one-time check at
the NPRC, plus any mailing or shipping charges. Emailing is free. If we have to conduct a second, in-person inquiry it is an additional $35, plus mileage. To date, there has been no
charge by the government for the records. If there is, that is added to the bill at cost.
The turnaround in the last 2 months has averaged 5 business days, although one inquiry
took three weeks before they found the record. Other exceptions to the "short" turnaround include instances where NPRC could find no record because the subject was not in the U.S.
Military but had been a member of an activated National Guard Unit; and, on another occasion, the records were part of a large segment destroyed in a fire. These exceptions
took months. Once a request is submitted, it is totally out of our hands. It is, after all, the government.
Regarding information for which the NPRC may charge, please go to their website at the
National Personnel Records Center. It will offer pages of explanation based on what form your request takes (e.g., subpoena, FOI, with release, etc.).
If under FOI, just e-mail or mail the information to us and we will execute the form and
signature as required by law. When the info is ready, we will fax it to you unless another manner of forwarding is requested in your e-mail.
Always provide as much personal history information as possible with a minimum
of:
- Full Name
- DOB
- SSN
- Branch of Service
- Retired
- Deceased
If you would like additional information or assistance in obtaining military separation papers
or would like one of our representatives to contact you regarding assistance, simply complete the convenient online inquiry form on our website and select "Help with Military
Separation Papers" in the box provided. Upon receipt of the form, we will be happy to assist you.
