Recording. The Register's page lists "Military discharges" among the records it indexes and issues certified copies of. Its "Why Record DD-214's?" sheet: "Veterans are advised during pre-separation briefings that they should record Copy 4 (Members Copy) at their Register of Deeds office. Recording DD-214 is another way of safeguarding the military service record and allows veterans an avenue to quickly get the document if the need arises." "Certified copies can be printed for veterans (who have recorded with the Register of Deeds) by coming to our office at NO cost to the veteran." North Carolina makes the recording free and keeps discharges off the public record (G.S. 47-113.2, the North Carolina entries). The card. The Register's letter "To Yadkin County Veterans": the "Thank You for Your Service" programme, begun May 30, 2017, encourages veterans to record their discharge, and "In return, the Veteran will receive an ID card which will allow the Veteran to receive discounts from participating businesses." Bring the DD-214 and a valid photo ID; veterans whose discharge is already recorded need only the photo ID. "This card will be at no charge to the Veteran." Cards are issued Monday to Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The card "is NOT a valid photo ID for determining actual identity or residency. It is NOT issued by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. It does not entitle the holder to any claim of VA Benefits." Businesses sign up on the Thank a Veteran page's application, setting their own discount, and the page is to carry the participating list.
