Check the Status of Research and Records Orders
Check the status of your reproduction order (placed online):
| Time Expected | Receive a Response or Order |
| 3 to 4 weeks | Response to your order for publications* |
| 8 to 9 weeks | Receive orders placed on NATF Forms 81, 82, 83, 84, or 86 |
| 12 to 16 weeks |
Receive orders placed on NATF Form 85 (full pension files are large so take the longest) |
Please note that the National Archives continues to work through a substantial backlog which may lead to significant delays in receiving reproduction orders.
*If you have not received a response to your order within 3 to 4 weeks, please send an email to inquire@nara.gov with the following information:
- your name and postal mailing address
- order number (preprinted on the NATF Forms 81 through 86), if applicable
- daytime phone number, if you wish to be called
