Locating Mailing Addresses for Military Personnel

A fellow law librarian compiled this list of resources for finding military personnel and enlistees and I’ve adapted it for this blog post:

1) Servicemembers Civil Relief Act Centralized Verification Service (SCRACVS)

2) Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC or DMDC.osd)

3) Under some circumstances the Salvation Army and the American Red Cross may provide assistance in locating active service members when other options fail.

4) Other suggested services and sites are noted below.

a) Department of Defense Requests for Military Mailing Addresses

b) U.S. Archives, Military Service Records

c) US Dept of Defense

d) Search mill dot com

e) Military Search

f) Military Connections

g) Military dot com

5) If you prefer to write – and some requests will need to be in writing:
