Data Verification Record (DVR)

Definition
The Data Verification Record (DVR) is the document utilized for promotion consideration — and is the most important tool to review to ensure information on a promotion record is complete.

What All Eligible Airmen Must Do

Review their DVR in the Automated Records Management System / Personnel Records Display Application (ARMS/PRDA).

If Errors Found
Airmen must immediately contact their MPF for assistance.

The MPF will:

  • Update the MilPDS with correct data
  • Update the DVR on virtual MPF

Airmen should review the updated record to verify changes have been completed accurately.

Don't Confuse These Documents

Caution
Data on the DVR should NOT be confused with:
  • The Data Verification Brief
  • A Single Unit Retrieval Format (SURF)

How to Access Your DVR

  1. Access the USAF Portal
  2. Access PRDA
  3. Under My Sections, select PRDA
  4. The Selection Folder category within PRDA is the "As Is" record
  5. The Board category within PRDA is the "As Met" record
