Where it applies
Written for the jurisdictions listed here.
- Albany County, NYCounty
The duty is the State's; the New York entry on discharge recording explains it (Military Law 250). Albany County's own page: "Honorably discharged veterans of the United States armed forces are entitled to record their discharge certificates (DD214) at the County Clerk's office where they live, free of charge." The page walks through why to record it, how to get it recorded, the county's answer on identity theft, and when a veteran would need a copy.
