DD 214 Registration

The DD-214 is your official Report of Separation from the military. It is needed to secure many veterans benefits.

We encourage all veterans to register a copy of their DD-214 with the Delaware County Recorder of Deeds so that an official copy is available on demand.

Free ID Card and Veterans Affairs Discount Program

County Council is committed to supporting our Veterans, and this program is a demonstration of our appreciation for your Service. This program will also enable you to register your DD-214, or equivalent military discharge document, at the Delaware County Office of the Recorder of Deeds, thereby providing a safe backup copy of this important document. The Veterans ID Card will be issued by the Recorder of Deeds and will certify that you have provided the necessary documentation that supports your military service.
