1 starThese guys are scammers they take your money and run. My son has been waiting 6 months for his paperwork and so I haven't received nothing. They do not return your phone calls and they send you generic emails. Please take my advice and never use these guys. If they're so good why do they have a B rating instead of A rating? Because I'm sure I'm not the only one that they scammed out thereDD214 Direct

D214 Direct is a trusted and established document retrieval service that has helped over ******* veterans and their families obtain their military ********** your sons case, his request was submitted promptly, the same day we received your it, but unfortunately, the government agency responsible for fulfilling these records is currently experiencing a significant backlog, which is beyond our control. Approximately 85% of requests are returned quickly, some take longer due to internal delays at the agency. Thats why we step in and cover these delays for youby actively monitoring the request and following up directly with the agency on your behalf until the documents are delivered.We apologize if youve had difficulty reaching us. Our team responds to every inquiry and often finds that replies end up in spam or junk foldersplease check there if you havent seen a response. Were committed to delivering on every order and will ship the requested documents the same day we receive them.We appreciate your patience and remain dedicated to helping your family receive what you need.Michael N

It's so funny that these guys respond saying that it's somebody else's fault why my son hasn't received the documents from them yet saying that the place that they get it from is backlogged. That seems kind of funny to me because we've already received it for free through the archives so what they are saying it's not true and lying they are scammers and they will just take your money and you'll never hear from them again. They do not well they do respond to email but it's always a generic generated one. And they will not return your phone calls.Beware of these guys I would not recommend themReview fromGerald B

1 starI have been waiting for a month now and they will not even give me a best guess as to how long this may take. It costs a lot of money and I believe it would have been quicker if I had requested it myself from the national archive, at least I would be able to check on the status.DD214 Direct

While we strive to provide expedited services within the timeframes communicated, some delays can unfortunately occur due to circumstances beyond our controlparticularly at the government level. The government agency handling your request has reported a significant backlog and, at this time, has not provided a guaranteed turnaround window for document retrievals. We know this can be discouraging, and were doing everything we can to ensure your request is processed as quickly as possible.Not to worryIve reviewed your case and have already submitted a request to follow up with the government agency handling your records. We are making the necessary follow-ups and managing any required escalations in a timely manner to help move your request forward.DD214 Direct has helped over ******* veterans and their families obtain the documentation they need, and we take that responsibility seriously. We truly appreciate your patience and the opportunity to assist you.Gerald B

It's been over a month and still nothing from DD214 Direct. I didn't know it at the time, but all I had to do was request a copy from NARA. It didn't cost me anything and I had all my DD214's in less than 24 hours.DD214 Direct

Our role is to simplify the records retrieval process, handle all government paperwork, and advocate on your behalf to help ensure nothing falls through the cracks. While its true that some veterans are able to obtain their records quickly through ****, that is not the case for everyone. Many of our clients come to DD214 Direct after experiencing delays or complications when trying to obtain their records *************************** your case, your request was submitted promptly, and we followed up with the appropriate government agency on May 14, 2025. They confirmed your request was received and is currently being processed. Unfortunately, they are experiencing a significant backlog, and the delays are entirely on their endsomething we have no control over despite our continued efforts to push the request forward.Review fromMichael W

1 starTheir website is misleading and charges exuberant prices, advertises 24/7 support then answers with a VM to leave your email address. This is a total scam, you cant go back and review each web page to ID their fraudulent statements. Shut this place down!DD214 Direct

DD214 Direct has proudly supported over ******* veterans and their families by simplifying the often frustrating process of obtaining military service records. Rather than having to navigate government agencies alone, our team handles the paperwork, communication, and any necessary escalations directly on behalf of our clientssaving them time, stress, and delays.We understand you attempted to contact us around 5:00 AM. While we offer extended support hours and always encourage clients to leave a voicemail or email, we aim to return all inquiries promptly during business ******** appears there was a clear misunderstanding regarding our services. At no point do we advertise or offer a 15-minute turnaround time, as was claimed in your review. This is not a service we provide, nor is it mentioned on any page of our website. DD214 Direct works with government agencies whose processing times can vary, and while the majority of our clients receive their documents quickly, timelines ultimately depend on the responsiveness of the issuing agency. In cases where delays occur, our team actively intervenes to help move the process along efficiently.The pricing for our service goes far beyond simple retrieval. It includes secure handling of sensitive information, expert support from trained Veteran Advocates, and full-service management of the request from start to finish. We understand our service may not be the right fit for everyone, and in situations where expectations dont align, we always work with the customer toward a fair resolution - just as was done in your case.Review fromGavun H
