Much like paying a small fee to have your taxes done by a professional, DD214Direct provides the service and convenience you’ve been hoping for, plus we make it a lot easier. Finally, we have team members at many locations to drop off and pick up documents. In many cases, DD214Direct is able to advance your request to a higher-priority workflow. Once your request is processed, DD214Direct becomes your personal advocate, working directly with the agency that holds your records (currently there are about 75 independent agencies) and immediately responding to any agency issues on your behalf. In addition, we break up multiple requests (DD214, OMPF, etc.) so that each piece is handled separately and one does not delay the other. To further expedite the process, our team ensures your initial request is filled out properly the first time and includes the necessary supporting documentation so that it doesn't bounce back. We also integrate email and fax throughout our entire process, while many agencies do not. First, we digitize both your request and the returned documents, using electronic signatures to avoid extra time with the postal service. Our cutting-edge technology platform and keen knowledge of government protocol and procedure allow us to deliver your documents faster than you could get them on your own. Veteran-owned DD214Direct helps you get the documents you need, when you need them. For urgent requests, please let our team know when you call us at 800.891.9285 or when you request your DD214 online. DD214Direct remains open at this time and we are still the fastest way to get your DD214, OMPF, and other military service records.
