Arizona's county recorders record the discharge papers of service personnel without charge under ARS 11-465, and ARS 39-122 entitles a claimant to free copies of public records to use in a claim against the United States; the Arizona entry on recording discharges describes both. The Recorder's own pages. The Yuma County Recorder's Office, run by elected Recorder David Lara, sits at 298 S. Main Street, Yuma, AZ 85364, main line (928) 373-6020 and fax (928) 373-6024, weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with an address of [email protected]. Its published pages describe recording a document, searching recorded documents and recording fees, and name no discharge-specific practice or fee. The statute is the answer: a DD-214 is recorded free, and certified copies for a VA claim are free on request at the counter.
