Hunterdon County Clerk Veteran’s Services

"Application must include an Original or Certified Copy of the U.S. Military Honorable Discharge, DD-214 or Service Papers. The County Clerk's Office records Honorable Discharges and DD-214s free of charge. Recording these important papers affords Veteran's the security of knowing their discharges are permanently on record within Clerk's office. This document may be required as proof of eligibility for benefits." "Veterans Identification Cards Available - Application must include an Original or Certified Copy of the U.S. Military Honorable Discharge, DD-214 or Service Papers. When recording your DD-214, we now offer a County Veteran Identification Card (download Veteran ID Application (PDF)) that provides you with the Page/Book Number under which the document is filed. This card can be an easy reference that may be used at a future date to obtain a copy of your discharge papers if a situation arises where they can not be located quickly." "Discharge Documents - All discharge documents filed with the Clerk's office are considered confidential and can only be accessed by veterans or their family members." "Certified Copies of Documents - To be able to provide you with a certified copy when needed, we must record the original document (DD-214). If you have lost or misplaced your original document, you may apply online for a certified copy." The page also prints the state's veterans property tax deduction (under N.J.S.A. 54:4-8.10 et seq., the State entry) with the claim form, and links the "Hunterdon County Veteran Grave Locator." The clerk's main recording page lists Military Discharges among the documents "indexed, filed and digitally imaged."
