Military Discharges
All military discharges are recorded in the Recorders office and are confidential documents. When a person in the military service is discharged, they receive a form called DD214.
The military service organizations strongly suggest recording the form to insure easy availability of the certified copy of this document, if the original would get lost or destroyed. Upon recording the discharge, the office will furnish certified copies to the veteran.
A new law, effective January 1, 2004, requires the veteran or surviving spouse, children, parent or legal guardian to fill out a tangible interest form and show identification before receiving a certified copy of the document. This is to protect the veteran from identity theft.
