The Department of Defense strongly supports the enforcement of the Servicemembers Civil Relief

1940). DMDC has issued hundreds of thousands of "does not possess any information indicating that

contacting that person's Military Service via the "defenselink.mil" URL provided below. If you have
evidence the person is on active-duty and you fail to obtain this additional Military Service

middle name), you can submit your request again at this Web site and we will provide a new
certificate for that query.
This response reflects current active duty status only. For historical information, please contact the
