Monroe County Register of Deeds: Honor Rewards Card and Discharge Records

Honor Rewards. "The Monroe County Register of Deeds and Monroe County Veterans Service Office are excited to offer a program for our Veterans, known as Honor Rewards ... Veterans can sign-up to receive an Honor Rewards card, which qualifies them for discounts, incentives, and other promotions at participating businesses in our community. To receive your Honor Rewards card, sign-up online at www.honorrewards.com or stop into the Monroe County Register of Deeds office." The participating businesses are listed on the Honor Rewards site, not the county's, and the page sets no service or discharge test of its own. Discharges. The Register's mission lists "Military Discharges" among the vital records it keeps. Under section 45.05 a veteran discharged honorably, or given a certificate of service or relieved from active service, may record the discharge with any county's register of deeds, and "the register of deeds may not charge for recording". The record is open only to the veteran, the veteran's dependents or authorized representative, the CVSO, the Department of Veterans Affairs or someone with the veteran's written authorization. The county's page does not mention the fee or the access rule. The office.
