A DD Form 214, also known as the Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, is a document issued to military personnel upon their retirement, discharge, or release from active duty, detailing their service record. In contrast, a DD Form 217 is not officially recognized; the correct form for a similar purpose would be the DD Form 215, which serves as an amendment to the DD 214, providing corrections or additional information. Thus, the primary difference lies in their purpose and official status.
No, a DD-214 is not available in card form. The DD-214, or Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, is typically issued as a printed document.

However, digital versions may be accessible through online veteran services.
