As with all veterans benefits, your County Veterans Service Office can assist you with retrieving your records and updating your discharge information. Please find the contact information for your county by clicking below:
 
 
The Ohio Department of Veterans Services has discharge papers from the early to mid-1900's to current for those veterans that enlisted from Ohio and requested a copy to go back to the state. We also record wartime bonus records prior to 1993.
 
A request form will need to be completed and sent to:
 
Ohio Department of Veterans Services
77 South High Street, 7th Floor

Please click here to download a form, or you may call our office at 888-387-6446 or 614-466-5453 to request one to be mailed to you.
