DA Form 31, Request and Authority for Leave, is a United States Army form that is necessary to request permission for temporary military leave. This form can be used to request an emergency leave, a vacation, travel, or an extended pass.
Despite being issued by the Department of the Army (DA), the form is often incorrectly called the DD Form 31. The latest edition of the form was issued on September 1, 1993, and was recently modified to include digital signatures that completely eliminate the need to print the form out. An up-to-date fillable DA 31 is available for download and digital filing below.
Start with downloading a fillable DA Form 31. Your application will be rejected if any of the blocks are not completely filled out or provide false or inaccurate data.
The DA Form 31 with digital signature must be then be forwarded or printed out and given to your superiors for approval. Your army leave form must always be with you when traveling. Notify your commander immediately if your leave destination changes during your travel. Report to a military medical facility if you require medical treatment while on leave.
