DD Form 1701 Inventory of Household Goods

How to Fill Out DD Form 1701?

The DD 1701 requires the service member to provide their name, their home and duty phone numbers, the date of filing the form, and the destination of the shipment. The form lists the most common household items, furniture, cutlery, elements of decor, and equipment and provides extra space for listing additional articles.

Service members are required to provide the measurements for the items (in cubic feet), list the total quantity of every item, and calculate the total measurements. The estimated total weight of the shipment must be provided at the bottom of the form.

The second page of the DD 1701 lists all appliances that need to be serviced identifying them by type, make, and year. The form also proved space for listing up to six items to be withdrawn from the shipment and placed in temporary storage if the total weight exceeds administrative restrictions.
