The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the following web site for veterans to gain access to their DD-214's
It's official; DD-214's are NOW On-line.
http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/
This may be particularly helpful when a veteran needs a copy of his DD-214 for employment purposes. NPRC is working to make it easier for veterans with computers and Internet access to obtain copies of documents from their military files.
Military veterans and the next of kin of deceased former military members may now use a new online military personnel records system to request documents.
Other individuals with a need for documents must still complete the Standard Form 180, which can be downloaded from the on-line web site. 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. The new web-based application was designed to provide better service on these requests by eliminating the records center mail room and processing time.

While you can submit your request online, you still need to fax or mail a signed document and wait for them to process. Just started this process yesterday in fact to ensure my medals/ribbons were updated.
To my knowledge there is not an instant, online PDF of the DD-214 which would be great.

My thoughts exactly Sgt Branden W.. Luckily I saved a copy of my own DD214 to my portable hard drive and backed it up to the cloud!

My husband is applying for local police academy. The application requires an “original” DD-214 form. We located the Member 4 and Member 1 papers provided to him at discharge, and to us, these are the originals. There is no “official stamp” or “official seal” etc. what is the indicator on this form to ensure it is the “original”?
