How long will it take to get my order?
Our commitment to protecting your information may mean longer reviews on some applications. Processing times vary based on the type of record and ordering method.
What do I need to get an official certified copy of a vital record or make changes to it?
Vital records, such as birth or death certificates, are legal documents that are used to prove a person's identity. To get a certified copy of a vital record or make changes to the official record, you must be a person qualified to do so and submit a completed application. A completed application includes acceptable identification, the correct fees, and, in some cases, supporting documentation.
