What is form DD215?

Through the National Archives site, veterans can request a copy of their Defense Department Form 214 called the Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, Official Military Personnel File, replacement medals and medical and health records.

How do you obtain your military discharge papers?

NOTE: Some companies advertise DD Form 214 research services and will charge a fee for obtaining copies. Generally there is no charge for basic military personnel and health record information provided to veterans, next-of-kin and authorized representatives from Federal (non-archival) records.

What is the difference between a DD214 and a DD215?

The DOD or the Coast Guard attaches the DD215 to the old DD214which still shows the outdated discharge and related information. While the discharge on the DD215 is the correct discharge, a Veteran may still want a new DD214 that shows no record of their earlier characterization of discharge.
