LINCOLN
- Logan County Clerk and Recorder, Sally Turner, announced that her
office is encouraging Logan County Veterans to file their United
States Military Discharge papers (commonly referred to as DD214) in
her office. “In honor of our Veterans as we approach Veteran’s Day,
we want to remind them that this important document can be recorded
in our office at no cost.
|
The original document is recorded and returned to the veteran the
next day”, Turner said. There is no charge for a certified copy of
the discharge paper once it has become a record in her office. “In
addition to the veteran, the document can be obtained with written
permission of the veteran, or by a surviving spouse, father, mother,
son, daughter, sister or brother of a deceased veteran – if a death
certificated is provided.” The document is treated as a vital record
and is protected from public view.
Veterans are encouraged to come to the Office of the County Clerk
and Recorder to file or receive a certified copy of their DD214
anytime during Court House hours, Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. –
4:30 p.m. Forms to request a certified copy of a previously filed
DD214 are located on the County Clerk website at
www.co.logan.il.us
under County Clerk, Military Discharge.

The Department of Veterans Affairs does not automatically forward the discharge
to the county of residence for recording, therefore this is an important step in
securing a veteran’s discharge papers.
“Our staff would like to thank all veterans for their commitment and service to
the United States of America.” For further information and questions about
DD214s please contact the office at (217)732-4148.
