NFCU Membership

[glockrunner]

I'd like to apply. My father was in the military but has passed away. He wasn't a member. I'm trying to get a family member to look through his things to find proof of his service. I want to buy a home next year and they may be a good prospect for mortgage.

You can call and join. They'll ask for branch and rank. They will give you the website where you can order his DD-214 if you need it but it seems like they have their own means of verification so they rarely ask for it. Best to get it just in case though.

Great info guys! I will call them tomorrow and give what info I have . If that doesn't work I'll go the DD214 method

Hi @glockrunner, I moved your post to a new thread to get your question more exposure.

I joined NFCU with my own veteran status but I later got my father's DD-214 from here just for sentimental reasons. It was easy. All I provided was name, branch, SSN and DOB.

Shortly after applying I received an email requesting proof of ID and proof of address. I sent it right in and got a response that they recieved the documentation and allow them 5 business days to review.  Maybe I should have driven the hour to a branch.

Did you hear back from NFCU? I'm in the sme boat as you and was told I need to wait 5 business days before membership approval.

No, not yet. I applied on Monday. Good luck!
