In addition to these free services, veterans are encouraged to record their DD-214 with the Clerk of Courts and County Comptroller for safekeeping and easy future access. When veterans record their DD-214 with the clerk’s office, a permanent digital copy is readily available to them in case the original is lost or destroyed. Recording a DD-214 is free, and the record stays confidential for decades. DDS-214s do not become a public record until a veteran has been separated from the military for 62 years, per the National Archives.
Veterans may also record their discharge papers with the clerk’s office Monday – Friday between 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. year-round at the St. Johns County Courthouse.
