The form. The Recorder division's "Certified Copy of Military Discharge Application" (DD-214) states the rule on its face: "Certified copies of a military discharge record (DD214) may only be issued to the following persons defined in section 6107(b) of the Government Code. Such persons, pursuant to section 27303.5 of the Government Code, may obtain a DD214 official record if a full social security number is required to receive benefits." The checkboxes are the subject of the record "upon presentation of proper photo identification" (a legible copy by mail), "a family member or legal representative ... upon presentation of proper photo identification and certification of their relationship", "a state, county or city office that provides veteran's benefits services upon written request", and "a United States official upon written request". The applicant declares eligibility "under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California". The fee schedule. The 2026 recording-fee schedule (Government Code 27361 through 27372 lines) says nothing about discharge papers - the free recording rests on Government Code 6107 (see the California entry), which also makes the recorded discharge confidential. Where. Craig S. Kay, Assessor-Recorder; 311 Fourth Street, Room 108, Yreka, CA 96097-2984; Recorder 530-842-8065; hours 8:00 a.m. to noon and 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. (the division's posted office hours).
