Often called a report of separation or discharge papers, a Form DD214 is an official document produced when a service member completes their active duty service or at least 90 days of active duty training. It is basically a mini history of the veteran’s service and consists of documentation of their service dates, rank, military job specialties and training, medals, and reason for leaving the service. A DD214 form request in Orlando FL can be placed by the veteran themselves or by the next of kin of a deceased veteran.
