DD Form 3057 — a Department of Defense document. Title of record: Application for Search and Seizure Warrant Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2703. Stated purpose: Application for Search and Seizure Warrant Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2703. Edition date not stated; status not stated.
Governing directive: not stated. Responsible office: not stated. The DD designation signals joint scope — all military departments, combatant commands and defense agencies draw on a single edition of the document.
The form reaches military personnel across the services, civilian employees of the Department, and the personnel and records specialists who receive it.
Submission follows the schedule set by not stated and by local implementing procedures. This page provides the blank form for download and general orientation only.
Formats offered: PDF. Length: 1 pages. Fillable field count: roughly 49.
Pdf serves as the base format. In the fillable variant, each box is an interactive field that holds typed text inside the document. In the flat printable variant, no fields exist — the page prints as a blank to be completed by hand. Typed entries survive transmission; handwriting does not always survive scanning.

Completion runs in the order printed on the page: identifying data at the head, the body of the entry next, certification at the foot. Header data frequently governs what belongs in the fields below it.
Verify the edition date against not stated before entry. Department-level revisions replace the blank across every service simultaneously, so an old copy in a desk drawer may no longer correspond to current field numbering.
Signature is manual ink on printed copies and digital where the receiving system accepts it. A typed name in a signature field is a name, not a signature. Common Access Card credentials support digital signature in pdf where the form and the reader permit.
Privacy Act Statements accompany DoD forms that gather personal identifiers. Content of the statement: legal authority, principal purpose, routine uses, and the effect of declining to provide the information. It is printed on the form for that reason.
Frequent defects: obsolete edition, unfilled required boxes, handwriting that fails on reproduction, non-conforming date format, and certification without a corresponding date.
Field-level instructions appear on the form itself and in not stated. The directive is the controlling text.
Once executed, routing follows not stated and the submitting organization's own instruction. Keeping a copy is standard.
Cross-referenced forms are found through the numbering system. The DD sequence is Department-level and unified, which means a number cited on the page identifies one document across the whole Department.
Some procedures pair a DD form with a service form. The two numbering systems are separate — service forms answer to a service proponent, DD forms to not stated or another Department office — and a matching number in each system means nothing.
Revision occurs when the prescribing directive is reissued, when the data collected changes, or when statutory notice language is amended. Verification of the edition date at download addresses all three.
This page distributes a published Department of Defense document and describes it. It is not a source of legal advice and makes no representation about acceptance of any completed form. Questions of applicability, eligibility or procedure belong to not stated, the servicing personnel office, or the office named in not stated.
