Military Discharges
Our office records Military Discharges in association with the Chester County Veterans' Affairs Office. After recordation and microfilming, these important document images are impounded and kept in a secure location within our Search Library. This insures that only the serviceperson, his or her family, or authorized military personnel or veterans' agencies will have access to these recorded documents. Military Discharges are the only documents we maintain which are not made a part of the public record.
Recording Your Military Discharge Document
To record your Military Discharge, go to the Chester County Office of Veterans' Affairs located in the County's Government Services Center, 601 Westtown Road, Suite 385 or call them at 610-344-6375. The VA will assist you in getting your Discharge properly recorded.
