Military Discharge Information:

Your Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, DD Form 214 is one of the most important documents that the Service will every give you.  It is your key to participation in all Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) programs as well as several state and federal programs including:
Disability Compensation
Education and Training
Home Loans
Loan Guaranty Services
Vocational Services
Insurance Services
Burial & VA Cemeteries

These are just a few of the services that require your discharge papers.  You should keep your original document in a safe place, and have certified copies available for reference.

Be safe.  In Ohio you can record your DD Form 214 in your county recorder’s office.  Register your DD Form 214 with your County Recorder as soon as you separate from the Service.  After you record your discharge papers, they can be easily retrieved if you need additional certified copies.

There is never a fee for recording a military discharge.
