I got my copy through the web site, but the problem was the low quality of the original, which I SAW them type up on my ship before I was discharged. The paper was very flimsy carbons and they used a crappy typewriter (remember them) with an old ribbon to type it. I think I'm going take the advice I got 25 years ago when I got out, and go to the county clerk and get them to record it.rotor wrote:I got out in 1980 and did finally get my DD-214 by request via the internet this year. It is a very good copy and I have it clearly scanned as grey scale (although photo quality would be good too). I would suggest getting a new one which might be better.ScottDLS wrote:I believe I've heard that the DMV will do it the other way around, i.e. put it on the Drivers License if it's already on the LTC.

My original service member copy of my DD-214 copy 4 is very fragile and light and doesn't copy well. I don't like bringing it out, but I ordered a duplicate from the VA and it was obviously copied from a microfilm and copied even worse...So I just try to mess around with my MFC printer to make the highest quality copies I can.
I just renewed my LTC and emailed them a copy of my DD-214. Renewal took 3 weeks and now shows veteran. I believe you have to take your DD-214 to the DPS drivers license thing to get it on your drivers license. At least that's what it says online. I am eligible to renew on line but I don't see how to give them my DD-214 so I will renew at DPS. I don't know if they will add veteran to my drivers license without the DD-214 or go backwards from my LTC. I will ask when I renew.
