The Air Force does not maintain files or records pertaining to individuals no longer on active duty. When an individual is separated form military and civilian service (because of retirement, discharge from active duty, or death), his or her Filed Personnel File (containing all service and health records) is forwarded for storage to the National Personnel Records Center. The Records Center is under the jurisdiction of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). An individual's complete personnel file is available to the former member or, if deceased, to his or her next of kin (parents, spouse, or children). Limited information about dates of service, awards, and training is available to anyone but, information that would invade an individual's privacy (i.e., current home address, Social Security Account Number, medical records, etc) is not available to the general public.
If requesting the records of a relative, a requester should mention the relationship to the former member (sister, brother, uncle, or other). There is no charge to former service members or their next of kin for this service. However, for all other requesters, there is a nominal fee charged for research and reproduction costs. In this regard, files at the Records Center are maintained as historical records only and are not updated to reflect current data on the former member. The addresses for the National Personnel Record Center are listed below, or visit them at:
