It used to be standard to record your 214 in either your county of birth or your county of residence when you entered service. With my dad that was the same county in both instances.

When I was applying for an Agent Orange disability, our county Veteran Service Officer applied for an official certified copy of my DD214 on my behalf. After it came back from the archives, she had me register it at the courthouse so I can use a county certified copy in the future.
