Service Record Information

 

Requesting Service Records:

People seek Service Records for a variety of reasons, some to acquire their own Service / Medical records and some in connection with the growing interest in their family history. 

Whatever the reason, obtaining copies can be a surprisingly straightforward process. 

The process differs, depending on whether you are requesting your OWN Service Record, or if you are the next of kin of a DECEASED Service person or if you simply have a general interest in an individual.

The Links below will take you to specific information on the type of request you wish to make :-

Please note:

For a DECEASED Service persons Record, IF they were born 116 years ago or more, you will NOT need to have a Copy of the Death Certificate.

For a DECEASED Service persons Record, born less than 116 years ago, you WILL need to have a Copy of the Death Certificate.

The more information you can provide i.e. Service Number, Branch, Date Joined and Left etc. the easier it will be.

It can take up to 2 or 3 months before you get the details returned to you.
