There appears to be some confusion as to how transfers are handled. Below are the National guidelines for assuring a member is properly transferred to another post in the department.

   National Organization’s Transfer Procedures:

All transfer requests from one local post to another must be signed by the member and a Post Officer. If either one or both , is missing, forms will be returned to the Department. Any exceptions to this guideline are as noted below:

1. If a Department sends a list of HQ Post members and requests to transfer into local Posts, The Department Adjutant or Commander must certify in writing that the members have been contacted and agreed to be transferred and the local Post has agreed to accept the members.
2. If a Member data form is received for a member transferring out of a Department HQ Post into a local Post, the HQ Post members contacted via phone can be transferred based on that phone conversation or the member's signature is required. All you need to do is place per phone conversation in signature block.
3. You can also use the e-mail transfer form below. Requests through e-mail must be attached to data form as proof of approval by the transferring member. The Post Officer's signature may be left blank.
4. The member's signature is also required when transferring a member from a local Post into Headquarters Post.
5. All transfer requests must be submitted to National Headquarters through the Departments Headquarters. Transfers received directly from a member or Post will be sent to the receiving Department.

We can initiate the process for our HQ Post 1000 members by using the form below:

I understand the local Post may require a copy of my separation from active duty papers (DD-214).

(The Post's Service Officer will then be able to file a claim if necessary, on your behalf with no delay.  The Post's Service Officer can also help you get replacement separation papers if yours have been lost or destroyed.)

  YES!  I'm interested in transferring to a local Post.
