Standard Form 180 (SF-180), Request Pertaining to Military Records, is used to request a veteran's military service records — most often a copy of the DD-214 discharge document — from the National Personnel Records Center. The veteran, next of kin or an authorized representative completes it with the service member's identifying details and what records are needed. With JustFill you upload the blank SF-180 PDF, the AI maps each field, and you type the details before downloading it free to mail or fax.
SF-180 is the standard request form for military personnel, health and medical records held by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). It is the usual way to obtain a replacement DD-214, service verification, or medical records for VA claims, employment, funeral honors or genealogy. You identify the veteran, their branch and approximate service dates, state which records you need and why, and sign as the veteran or an authorized requester. JustFill lets you complete the SF-180 online so the identifying details are legible before you send it to the correct records center.
