NPRC initiates online military records request procedures
Since 07-09-03
The National Personnel Records Center is working to make
it easier for veterans with computers and Internet access to obtain copies of
documents from their military files.
Military veterans and the next of kin of deceased former military members may
now use a new online military personnel records system to request documents.
Other individuals with a need for documents must still complete the Standard Form 180 which can be downloaded from the online web site.
The new web-based application was designed to provide better service on these requests by eliminating the records center's mailroom processing time. Also, because the requester will be asked to supply all information essential for NPRC to process the request, delays that normally occur when NPRC has to ask veterans for additional information will be minimized.
Veterans and next of kin may access this application at
http://vetrecs.archives.gov Please note there is no requirement to type "www" in front of the web address.
