depends on where you live
if they can´t do it, they will be able to tell you where you need to go, maybe some on in City Hall can help you as well.
and i do know what a "DD214" is, i have one, thank you for your thumbs down :)

Only the original DD Form 214 is certified and that's done by the issuing agency... that means by the branch of service from which you were discharged. Once you sign it and the personnel officer signs it, it's a certified original. You can get a copy certified by taking the original to the county recorder's office where you live. They will make a photo copy of it and certify it as a certified copy with the county recorder's seal and signature. What that will do for you is ensure that you have a certified copy on file with your county in case you lose your original. I hope this helps.
UPDATE: Contrary to what some have told you, the county recorder's office has a vital records section where your 214 will be recorded. It will not become a public record that would be available to anyone requesting it. Trust me on this, I know what I'm talking about. The other person seems to think that you'd be recording this document like a land deed or something and he's dead wrong.

No dear, the original document you received at discharge is the certified document. The post office does not certify any documents.
The USMC attorney and Mr. Phurface have good answers. Why were they given thumbs down?

The personnel office where you signed and recieved the dd214 is the only place that can certify them.

My DD-214 is printed on very thin paper and I took it
to my County Court Clerk's office as I was told to do
when I was released from active duty.....after about
six months, the clerk's office mailed it back to me and
I have had it in my possession ever since....I
believe they have it recorded there somewhere
because sometime later the historical society group
erected a monument in our city park with the
county's veterans names engraved...I never gave the
group my name or any info on myself, but my name
was engraved on the monument...I assumed they got
it from the county court clerks office....check your local
clerks' office...

Take your original to a bank or some place that has a notary public. They will make a copy and certify the copy. Do not take it to your county clerk! That official will register it in the country records, making it a public document which anyone can obtain. It has your Social Security Number on it and I don't think you want to be a victim of identity theft.

No.
The issuing agency in ST. Louis Missouri ( military records)must issue it as certified as they are the only agency that can determine it's origin and authenticity.

when I separated they gave me one(1) copy....a few yrs later I got 3-4 copies made. There is NO visual differences between them! so HOW does the original get to be a 'cert'.copy (one guesses, with notary stamp?)
