Certified Record Request Assistance

Help completing and organizing requests for birth, death, marriage, and divorce records — so the packet you mail is complete the first time.

What this covers

  • Identify the correct request form for the issuing office you select
  • Complete the request form using the information you provide
  • Organize identification and supporting documents into one packet
  • Compare names, dates, and places for consistency across documents
  • Point out blank fields and visibly missing items before you submit
  • Notarize the request when the form requires a sworn or acknowledged signature
  • Print, copy, and scan on site
  • Prepare a mail-ready or in-person submission packet

What this does not cover

  • Decide whether you are legally entitled to a record
  • Contact or negotiate with a vital records office on your behalf
  • Guarantee that a record exists or that a request will be approved
  • Give legal advice about names, parentage, or estate matters
  • Pay or waive government fees on your behalf

Who this helps

Requesting a relative's record

You need a parent's, spouse's, or child's certificate and the form asks for a relationship and supporting proof.

Name differences across documents

The name on your ID does not match the name on the record, and the request needs supporting documents to connect them.

No standard photo ID

The office lists alternate identification options and you need help assembling an acceptable combination.

Out-of-state event

The record was issued in another state and that office uses its own form, fees, and identification rules.

A previous request was returned

Your request came back unprocessed and you need the packet reviewed and reorganized before resubmitting.
