NATIONAL PERSONNEL RECORDS CENTER NOW ACCEPTING REQUESTS FOR RECORDS ONLINE.
The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC), has announced an improved method of requesting documents from the NPRC. As you know, the NPRC provides copies of documents from military personnel records to authorized requesters. Their new web-based application will provide better service on these requests by eliminating their 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. You may access this application by clicking on:
Additionally, this improved on-line request process should be
used INSTEAD OF Standard Form 180 from veterans or the veteran's next of kin.)
