A research copy — for the controlling text, always check the official state or federal source. Not legal advice.

A fee for a copy of a certificate showing service in the armed forces may not be charged to—
(1)a person discharged or released from the armed forces honorably or under honorable conditions;
(2)the next of kin of the person; or
(3)a legal representative of the person.
(Added Pub. L. 97–258, § 2(b)(2)(B), Sept. 13, 1982, 96 Stat. 1052.)
The words “armed forces” are substituted for “Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard” because of 10:101(4). The words “honorably or” are added for consistency with 10:1040.
