Wright County Recorder of Deeds: Military Discharge Filing and Free Copies

Mo. Rev. Stat. 59.480 makes the recording of a discharge free and limits who may see or copy it; see the Missouri entry. The Recorder's page lists among its responsibilities to "File and maintain military discharge documents (DD214)", and adds: "The Recorder of Deeds will file and maintain military discharge (DD214) documents. These documents are restricted from a public search and may only be accessed by the veteran or authorized party. A veteran or authorized party may requested a copy from our office at no charge, however a completed DD214 request form must be filed out, notarized and turned in to our office to request a copy." The form posted is the Recorders Association of Missouri's: one record per form, the veteran's identifiers, the requester's authority and a notary's signature. Formats and fees. The office's Document Formatting Standards list "Military separation papers" among the documents exempt from the State's formatting requirements, so an old or odd-sized discharge draws no non-standard fee; the fee schedule updated August 28, 2026 prices land records and liens and has no discharge line. Where. Recorder of Deeds Amanda Hoffman, Wright County Courthouse, 125 Court Square, Room 204, Hartville, MO 65667; 417-741-7322; cash or check only.
