New York Notification of Military Service (NAME) is a program that allows New York State residents who are serving or have served in the armed forces to receive notification of their military service records maintained by the New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs. This program is designed to provide service members and their families with an easy way to obtain information about their service, such as dates of service, awards and decorations, and other pertinent records. There are three types of notifications available: Standard Notification, Expedited Notification, and Emergency Notification. Standard Notification is the most common type of notification. This type of notification is available to all service members who are currently serving or who have served in the past. Standard notification includes important information such as service dates, awards and decorations, and other pertinent records. Expedited Notification is available for those service members who are in need of more immediate access to their military records. This type of notification allows the service member to obtain their records in a more timely manner. Emergency Notification is available for those service members who require immediate access to their military records due to a particular emergency situation. This type of notification is issued in the event of a death, injury, or other emergency.
