How to obtain a wallet-sized DD-214

If you own an image reducing photocopier or scanner you can make your own wallet-sized DD-214. If not, you can take a clean copy of your DD-214 to any Kinkos, Office Depot or other office supply/copy station to have your DD-214 reduced and laminated, usually very quickly.

Special thanks to Corporal Philip G. LeDonne, New York, for suggesting this website.
