Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

Recording. Revised Code 317.24 requires the Recorder to record an honorable discharge free, return the original at once with a certified copy, and keep it out of the public records; see the Ohio entry on county recorders. The Portage County Recorder is Lori Calcei, fourth floor of the Portage County Administration Building at 449 South Meridian Street, Ravenna (330-297-3553). The ID card. The Recorder's own handout says it offers Portage County veterans a wallet-size identification card showing branch of service, address and entry and discharge dates, as an alternative to carrying the DD-214. It is free - the statute would let the office charge up to $2 - and is issued in person during regular business hours on a valid DD-214 showing an honorable discharge and two forms of identification, one with a photograph: an original or certified birth certificate, a VA identification card, a military ID, a Social Security card, a concealed-carry licence from any state, a photographed state ID, a passport, or an armed forces discharge record. The card proves veteran status for retail discounts and identification.
