INSTRUCTIONS FOR VERIFYING
A DEFENDANT’S MILITARY STATUS
Federal law requires the court to verify that an individual is not on active duty in the armed
forces before it enters a default judgment against that person. You as the filer are required to
provide this information to the court. There are three ways to show this military status.
1. If you have the defendant’s Social Security Number you can search the Department of
Defense website (https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/scra/owa/home.) and get verification of that
person’s military status. You can print out the result of this search and bring the printout
to court.
2. You certify on the “Certification of Non-Military Service” form, or testify in court, that
you have personal knowledge about the defendant’s military status.
3. If you don’t know the military status of the defendant, and if you do not have the
defendant’s Social Security Number, you must request and obtain verification from the
sources listed below. You must contact each of the five branches of the military. Your
request should contain as much information as you know about the defendant such as the
full name, date of birth, last known address, service, rank or grade, or other information
to properly identify the individual in question. You must also state why you are
requesting this information.
Each request must be accompanied by a fee of $5.20 payable by check or money order, as
