served in the armed services and who was also a resident of

What is the cost for filing my Military Discharge Papers with
the County Recorder’s Office?
It’s actually quite simple. Go to the “Grave Sites” page of this
website and enter the name that you are looking for. If he/she is listed in our database,
the name, cemetery, and gravesite location in that cemetery will appear. If you believe that
someone should be listed in the database but appears to be missing, please notify our Public
Information Department at 216-443-7318 and provide
as much information about that person’s service as you can find. The DD-214 would be the most
valuable piece of Information that you could provide. We will research the information provided
and make any necessary additions to our database.

No, it is not required and, in fact, the Ohio Revised Code
permits a veteran to have his social security number “blacked out” when he files his discharge
papers with our office. With the increased awareness of identity theft, it has become advisable
to ask our staff for assistance in filing your DD-214 without revealing your personal
identification numbers.

Our office is proud to assist those who have honorably served our
nation. Therefore, there is no charge for the filing of your original DD-214 with our office.
We will also provide you with a wallet size copy of your filing and up to three (3) regular sized
copies for your records without any charge to you. (Back to Top)
