Lying about military service is illegal, but people do it anyway. If you want to verify a job applicant is currently in the Air Force or any branch of the military, the government may be able to tell you. To confirm past AF service or find out if an applicant was honorably discharged, you must go to the veteran to get a copy of the DD214 form containing the information.

Verify Military Employment

To confirm someone is currently serving in the United States Air Force, use the Defense Manpower Data Center's Military Verification Service. It's a web-based service you can access 24/7. Input basic facts – name, Social Security number and date of birth – and the website tells you if the person is currently serving. At least that's the theory. In practice, the data center has gaps in its records. Military members have searched for their records and been told the center has no record of them. This is more likely to happen with reservists and National Guard than Air Force members. If the service says "no," but the person you're talking to insists "yes," you can try a commercial service for verifying military status.

Proving Someone's a Veteran

The DD 214 is the standard form for confirming past military service. It lists all the information about someone's past Air Force service or service in any other branch, including:

  • When and where the individual entered the USAF
  • When and where the individual left active duty
  • Home address when the individual entered service and at separation
  • Last rank
  • Last duty assignment
  • Military specialty
  • Decorations, medals and citations
  • The kind of discharge: honorable, general, bad conduct or dishonorable

Ask the veteran to provide you with a copy of the DD 214. The National Archives has the information, but the only public records date back to more than 62 years. If someone served as an airman 10 years ago, for example, the National Archives only releases service records to the veteran or a family member. A veteran who can't find the DD 214 can request a copy from the archives.

Why It Matters

Verifying military service is different from confirming someone works as a trucker or a jazz pianist. Serving in the Air Force or the other military branches brings legal protections that teachers and salesclerks don't have. Say a job applicant is an Air Force reservist, and a check with the Military Verification Service confirms that. It's against federal law to discriminate against the applicant because military duty might clash with job needs.
