Hello

I am not immediate next of kin but sister.  I have a form which states you must get Next of Kin Declaration the first being husband/partner, children, grandparents, then sister/brother.

 I also have a notice that after 25 years of death anyone can apply for records as in my case my sister died in 1979.  I cannot find a form that does not have the immediate Next of Kin rule.  Does anyone have experience in applying for record after 25 years and how I can get it. I know I have to pay about 30/35 pounds for search as I do not have any info. on her enlistment. Thanks, Lookin2

Hi,

Forms on this page
https://www.gov.uk/requests-for-personal-data-and-service-records

scroll down to this part:

"For those who are not the immediate next of kin, and who are applying without the consent of the immediate next of kin, download and complete the ‘Application part 1: general enquirer’s form’ and the ‘Application part 2 form’ for the appropriate Service (Royal Navy, British Army or RAF)."
