Military
Records
The
Recorder's Office has on permanent record, military discharges that
have been presented for recording by the veterans, themselves.
There is no charge to record, or obtain a certified copy of a
military record.

Consequently, in order to obtain records, veterans and next-of-kin (next-of-kin are the
unremarried widow or widower, son or daughter, father or mother,
brother or sister of the deceased veteran) will need to provide
one or more of the following:
-photo ID
-birth
certificate
-marriage
certificate
-authorized
waiver
To
obtain a copy you can stop in our office or mail in a
Military Record
Application.
If you
have any questions or would like to see if we have a copy of your
records in our office, call 515-286-3175.
