INSTRUCTION AND INFORMATION SHEET FOR SF 180, REQUEST PERTAINING TO MILITARY RECORDS
1. General Information. The Standard Form 180, Request Pertaining to Military Records (SF180) is used to request information from
military records. Certain identifying information is necessary to determine the location of an individual's record of military service. Please
try to answer each item on the SF 180. If you do not have and cannot obtain the information for an item, show "NA," meaning the
information is "not available." Include as much of the requested information as you can. Incomplete information may delay response time.
To determine where to mail this request see Page 2 of the SF180 for record locations and facility addresses.
Online requests may be submitted to the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) by a veteran or deceased veteran’s next of kin using
eVetRecs at http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/.
2. Personnel Records/Military Human Resource Records/Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) and Medical Records/Service
Treatment Records (STR). Personnel records of military members who were discharged, retired, or died in service less than 62 years
ago and medical records are in the legal custody of the military service department and are administered in accordance with rules issued by
the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS, Coast Guard). STR’s of persons on active duty are generally
kept at the local servicing clinic, and usually are available from the Department of Veterans Affairs approximately 40 days after the last
day of active duty. (See item 3, Archival Records, if the military member was discharged, retired or died in service over 62 years ago.)
a. Release of information: Release of information is subject to restrictions imposed by the military services consistent with
Department of Defense regulations and the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the Privacy Act of 1974. The
service member (either past or present) or the member's legal guardian has access to almost any information contained in that
member's own record. An authorization signature, of the service member or the member's legal guardian, is needed in Section III of
the SF180. Others requesting information from military personnel records and/or STR’s must have the release authorization in
Section III of the SF 180 signed by the member or legal guardian. If the appropriate signature cannot be obtained, only limited
types of information can be provided. If the former member is deceased, surviving next of kin may, under certain circumstances, be
entitled to greater access to a deceased veteran's records than a member of the general public. The next of kin may be any of the
following: unremarried surviving spouse, father, mother, son, daughter, sister, or brother. Requesters must provide proof of death,
such as a copy of a death certificate, newspaper article (obituary) or death notice, coroner’s report of death; funeral
director’s signed statement of death, or verdict of coroner’s jury.
b. Fees for records: There is no charge for most services provided to service members or next of kin of deceased veterans. A
nominal fee is charged for certain types of service. In most instances service fees cannot be determined in advance. If your request
involves a service fee, you will be notified.
3. Archival Records. Personnel records of military members who were discharged, retired, or died in service 62 or more years ago have
been transferred to the legal custody of NARA and are referred to as “archival” records.
a. Release of Information: Archival records are open to the public. The Privacy Act of 1974 does not apply to archival records,
therefore, written authorization from the veteran or next of kin is not required. However, in order to protect the privacy of the
veteran, his/her family, and third parties named in the records, the personal privacy exemption of the Freedom of Information Act (5
U.S.C. 552 (b) (6)) may still apply and preclude the release of some information.
b. Fees for Archival Records: Access to archival records is granted by offering copies of the records for a fee (44 U.S.C. 2116 (c)).
You will be notified if there is a charge for photocopies of documents contained in the record you are requesting. For more
information see http://www.archives.gov/st-louis/archival-programs/military-personnel-archival/ompf-archival-requests.html.
4. Where reply may be sent. The reply may be sent to the service member or any other address designated by the service member or other
authorized requester.
5. Definitions and abbreviations. DISCHARGED -- the individual has no current military status; SERVICE TREATMENT RECORD
(STR) -- The chronology of medical, mental health and dental care received by service members during the course of their military career
(does not include records of treatment while hospitalized); TDRL – Temporary Disability Retired List.
6. Service completed before World War I. National Archives Trust Fund (NATF) forms must be used to request these records. Obtain
the forms by e-mail from inquire@nara.gov or write to the Code 6 address on page 2 of the SF 180.
PRIVACY ACT OF 1974 COMPLIANCE INFORMATION
The following information is provided in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(3) and applies to this form. Authority for collection of the information is 44
U.S.C. 2907, 3101, and 3103, and Public Law 104-134 (April 26, 1996), as amended in title 31, section 7701. Disclosure of the information is voluntary. If
the requested information is not provided, it may delay servicing your inquiry because the facility servicing the service member's record may not have all of
the information needed to locate it. The purpose of the information on this form is to assist the facility servicing the records (see the address list) in locating
the correct military service record(s) or information to answer your inquiry. This form is then retained as a record of disclosure. The form may also be
disclosed to Department of Defense components, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS, U.S. Coast Guard), or
the National Archives and Records Administration when the original custodian of the military health and personnel records transfers all or part of those
records to that agency. If the service member was a member of the National Guard, the form may also be disclosed to the Adjutant General of the
appropriate state, District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico, where he or she served.

Important Notice:
Chapter 295, Florida Statutes, sets forth certain requirements for public employers to accord preferences, in
appointment, retention, and promotion, to certain veterans and spouses of veterans who are Florida residents.
Preference in appointment and employment shall be given by the state and its political subdivisions, first to those
persons included in categories 1 and 2 and second to those persons included under categories 3 and 4 (as shown on
page one of this form). Preference in appointment and employment requires that a preferred applicant be given special
consideration at each step of the employment selection process, but does not require the employment of a preferred
applicant over a non-preferred applicant who is the most qualified for the position.
An applicant who is eligible for veterans’ preference who believes he or she was not afforded employment preference
in accordance with Florida law may file a complaint with: Florida Department of Veterans' Affairs (FDVA), PO Box
31003, St. Petersburg, FL 33731, telephone (727) 319-7462, requesting an investigation. When the applicant has
received notice of a hiring decision from a covered employer, the complaint shall be filed within 21 calendar days from
the date that the notice is received by the applicant. When the applicant has not received notice of a hiring decision
within two calendar months of the receipt of the application by the employer, the applicant shall contact the employer
to determine if the position has been filled by the appointment of a non-preferred applicant. After having determined
from information supplied by the employer that the position has been filled by the appointment of a non-preferred
applicant, the preferred applicant may file a complaint within three calendar months of the date the application was
received by the employer. If the position has not been filled, the time period for filing a complaint is extended to
provide the preferred applicant one calendar month after having determined that the position has been filled. It is the
responsibility of the preferred applicant to maintain contact with the employer to determine if a position has been filled.
Chapter 98-33, s. 2, Laws of Fla., exempts from the law positions that are exempt from the state career service system
under Section 110.205 (2), Florida Statutes. The 2001 session of the Florida Legislature enacted a significant change
to the law concerning exempt positions for veteran's preference at the political subdivision level effective July 1, 2001.
Chapter 2001-273, Laws of Florida, eliminates the exemption for some of the previously exempted positions. As of the
effective date of the law, city managers, county managers, and management and policymaking positions of political
subdivisions of the state are now eligible for preference in appointment and retention as provided in s. 295.07(1).
Signature of Applicant (required):
I, the undersigned veteran or eligible spouse, acknowledge that I have provided true and correct information on this
form and any related documentation; and that I have read and understand the rights expressed in the foregoing notice.
Signature __________________________________________________ Date _______________________________

Operation Iraqi Freedom - March 19, 2003 to a date to be determined
Operation Enduring Freedom - October 7, 2001 to a date to be determined
