The Office of Veterans Affairs maintains nearly 200,000 discharge records from World War I to the present. Normally, when a person who entered the military from the State of Vermont separates from the service, a copy of their DD214 is sent to our office. In addition, when someone applies for a benefit from our office, we place their DD214 on file so that they won't need to provide it to us again in the future.
To find out if we have your record, give us a call between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. We'll look for your record, and if we have it we'll tell you how to get a copy. You can call us toll free from within Vermont at (888) 666-9844. If you're calling from outside Vermont, call us at (802) 828-3379. Application

Additional Records at the National Archives
If we don't have your discharge record, you can request it from the National Archives. They can also assist you if you would like additional military documents, as the Office of Veterans Affairs will only have the discharge. Medical records, medal citations, performance evaluations, etc. are maintained at the National Archives.
