BACKGROUND
AFPC reflects you have an approved retirement date. We understand the importance of having your DD-214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, completed and available in a timely manner. Please know that we are committed to providing prompt and professional service. When your DD-214 is completed and made official, you will receive a confirmation email of when the DD-214 will be available for you to download it electronically via the vMPF. Important Note: THE AIR FORCE NO LONGER MAILS THE DD-214. ONCE THE FORM IS COMPLETE AND OFFICIAL, IT WILL BE AVAILABLE IN VMPF FOR 60 DAYS ONLY.
1. Review vMPF. Upon discovery of inaccurate or missing personnel data, please work through servicing MPF/FSS for assistance in updating missing data or correcting errors. Servicing MPFs/FSSs are responsible for assisting customers in updating/correcting data in MILPDS. Updating or correcting data prior to starting terminal leave is critical in ensuring the official DD-214 will be accurate.
2. If you have NOT submitted your DD-214 Worksheet, please click on the below link to access the Virtual Military Personnel Flight (vMPF) and complete this requirement. If you have already submitted the worksheet no action is required.

4. If your retirement date falls on a weekend, it will be made official on the next business day. When your DD-214 is completed and made official, you will receive a confirmation email and be provided the instructions below on how to obtain the official DD-214.
