    Abstract: We need to obtain specific information from researchers who wish to request copies of these records, in order to search for the specific records they seek and to handle their order and payment for copies of the records. We use these standardized forms as the means of collecting the needed information so that we can handle the volume of requests we receive for these records in a timely fashion. Researchers provide credit card information to authorize billing or request expedited mailing of the copies. They may use paper or electronic versions of the forms or may fill them out and order online through our Order Online! service at http://www.archives.gov/​research_​room/​obtain_​copies/​military_​and_​genealogy_​order_​forms.html.
