ANNOUNCEMENT
CHANGES IN PROCESSING REQUESTS FOR COPIES OF
VETERANS' RECORDS AND PASSENGER ARRIVAL RECORDS
Effective May 1, 1984, all requests for copies of military service records
or passenger arrival records must be submitted on NATF Forms 80 and 81, respectively.
After May 1, prior versions of these forms (NATF Form 26 and NATF
Form 40) will not be accepted for processing. All forms other than NATF 80 or
NATF 81 that are received after May 1 will be returned.
A change is payment policies will also take effect May 1, 1984. NARS has in
the past required that payment accompany requests for copies of veterans records
and passenger arrival records. After May 1, 1984, payment should not
be sent with the NATF Forms 80 and 81. NARS will research the request, prepare
copies of any records located, and HOLD THE COPIES FOR 30 DAYS or until
payment is received, whichever is sooner. As soon as records are located and
copied, researchers will receive a bill and instructions on returning their
remittances.
Researchers should also submit a separate NATF Form 80 for each file (pension
or bounty-land or compiled military service) desired. Previously, researchers
could ask for multiple files on one form. This change is designed to facilitate
processing by the National Archives. Any one interested in obtaining
copies of NATF Forms 80 or 81 may do so by writing to the following office:
Reference Service Branch (NNIR)
