A DD-214 form cannot be written form anymore. The DD-214 is now requested online but only by a military veteran or next of kin. If youÍre not the next of kin or a veteran you have to complete the standard form 180 to the address on this form.

According to the website United States Department of Veterans Affairs, DD214 has been issued by military services since January 1, 1950. Before January 1, 1950, several similar forms were used by the military services. DD256A is listed as Honorable Discharge Certificate. However, a Form DD256A may have been issued after 1950 if that form was still in possession of the signer, who hadn't switched over to DD214.

Yes, but only with the veteran's written authorization. DD214s and other records within federal records repositories and agencies are protected by the Privacy Act. They can be access by the veteran, and the veteran's representative authorized by the veteran in writing. Many employers will request the job candidates to provide permission to review their "undeleted" or "long form" DD214. This permits verification of the document that the candidate presents in his job application. There's a good section on DD214s and Employers at http://dd214.us.
