Vital Records Request Form

Please Note: BE AWARE of third party vendors that issue Vital Birth, Death and Marriage Certificates.  We have had numerous individuals apply for vital records who have previously went through a third party vendor and were charged an outrageous amount and never received their record.  Perhaps the best practice is to inquire at the county and state where the event took place.
