Louis, MO ever has another fire and loose the originals on file there.Īnother issue may be if your DD214 does not have the embossed seal on it, the VSO may be concerned that the VA will not accept it, so if that is the case you may need to get an official copy from St. This way you are also covered if the National Archives in St. This is a kind of back up for you, just in case at some point the VA looses your DD 214 somehow.(snickering) that could never happen, you can provide them with an endorsed original copy for your file. Now you have a legally enforceable court instrument to use if the original is ever lost. By taking it down to your local court house and having it registered, the clerk of courts is now attesting to the fact that he/she made a copy of the original document and they affixed their registration number to the copy at that time. My VSO explained that if you take the original and look at it closely and feel around near the bottom right or left edge of the document, you will see and feel that it has a seal that has been embossed (pressed) in to it. As airborne stated, if you ever loose your certified copy it can pose problems for you if one is needed.
