asked:
where could i find military records for someone without requesting them from the military (it’s a background check on the d.l. and they aren’t listed on intellius)? i think the person is a veteran and was honorbly discharged.
Until fairly recently, the general public was able to decide who they allowed to run credit and criminal record checks on themselves. Modern technology has, unfortunately, changed this. State court records are considered public records in many instances, and many states have now made it incredibly simple to find out the details of most court cases. Public records are now available via the internet in many states, turning what once required a visit to the courthouse into a simple internet search.
Anyone with internet access can find out if their state offers a search for state court records online. For those that do, checking up on someone you know is as easy as typing in their first and last name. Some states post case information regarding criminal trials, traffic tickets, child support cases, and even civil disputes (and their results) online for anyone to see.
There are different reasons why people search for death records but one of the most common reasons is for genealogy. Death records can play a very important role in genealogy because they can tell you a great deal about the living ancestors. You can learn about the other family members of the deceased such as parents, spouse and children. In many cases, you can also learn more about extended family members or you can trace the death records through of one person to another, matching the family tree.
Certified copies of death records have been around for a long time now. While records have been kept for many years, they are now considered a legal document while also being a public record, meaning anyone can access what is contained within.

Paralegal during research on a specific case for a veteran who cannot get access to his military records. They are located somewhere in D.C., however, my attorney is having a very difficult time due to the military claiming classified records. Yet, we found records do exsist, how may we obtain them?
