The DA Form 12 R is the official U.S. Army form used to request, modify, or close a publications account through the Army Publishing Directorate (APD). Organizations that need regular access to Army publications, blank forms, and test materials must submit this form to establish an authorized account under DA PAM 25-33.
The form is required by Army units, Reserve components, National Guard elements, government agencies, and authorized contractors. The publications officer or account administrator for the requesting organization is responsible for completing and submitting the completed DA Form 12 R to the APD.
Completing the form requires detailed organizational information: unit identification code (UIC), organization name, installation, and command designation. Contact information for the publications officer is mandatory, including name, phone number, and complete mailing address. The submission type must be identified as an initial account request, a change to an existing account, or a closure.
Classification-level requests allow the organization to specify what categories of publications the account will receive. Changes of address and account modifications for Army publications are handled through this same form, making it a versatile administrative document for ongoing account management.
